A Jet for All Seasons (and airports)

[PB]

16/12/20

Christmas is getting close, still time for present buying (?).. Oriens Aviation sent me this tempting promotional regarding the amazing PC-24 this morning...

Take a look and visualise how an aircraft with these performance figures could change the 'size' of Europe when post Brexit island GB finds her wings? Fast, flexible, and beautiful it's to be hoped our trading agreements with the remaining European Members can be equally flexible and beautiful.. An aeroplane able to operate from Blackbushe at Max weights!!

A unique jet aircraft that can land on unpaved runways, offering the cabin size of a medium-light jet, the short-field performance of a turboprop and the speed of a light jet. In a class of its own.

Sounds good PB, let's hope HMG can muster sufficient grey matter to harness the opportunities made available soon. I don't expect, for one moment, the Right Honourable Member for Newark has responded to the planning issue!? I get the impression 'The Realm' will not be granted great gifts in Europe post Brexit, we might need to shake the dice with greater gusto in Singapore, and hoover more in Canada, Australia, India - and even China! Biding valuable time for deals with the US will be testing! The Russian Government has put in a good word for the President elect! HCC take note: you have an asset that is worth saving! Before HMG goes cod Churchillian can we not avoid the cuisses de grenouilles v roast beef contest that our beloved humankind dish up. We are in the 21st century - what a mess, how embarrassing!

It does sound good dear Rocky14, we just await a market place that she can penetrate over the water and within her generous range... At present the rules would suggest flight from the UK to a foreign field will be tolerated, well a European foreign field, restricting you to a simple single sector flight Blackbushe-Brussels eg, but don't try picking up a payload from there to carry onward to yet another foreign field, das ist verboten You gotta come back to Blighty... In line with cuisses de grenouilles, the scenario simply leaves you hopping.

No word from the Rt Hon Member for Newark as yet, I'll send the APPG on GA another reminder!!

Oh yes, I've added the PC-24 range finder, forgot to add it earlier I was so enjoying playing with the August 2019 spiders web..
