In this edition, we visit the home of John Davis - a man who has built a full-size 747 cockpit in his spare bedroom. Except it's no longer a bedroom, and it's no longer spare - but you get the idea. It's a properly-decent setup, and John even has airline pilots pay to practice on it. Needless to...

Flaps Special: LAA Rally 2011
The Light Aircraft Association Rally took place at Sywell between 2nd and 4th September 2011. Neither Elliott or I had been to one before so we didn't know what to expect... and we're glad to report we really enjoyed it. There was an impressive number of aircraft and - to our virgin eyes - an...
