Basic physics dictate that if you get "gain" somewhere, there must be a
loss elsewhere. If I have a lightbulb, I can certainly increase the
light in certain directions (by using reflectors and/or lenses) but this
always comes at the price of a loss somewhere else (behind the
reflector, or outside the aim of the lenses).
Now, in an aircraft, you probably favour an omnidirectional radiation
pattern (like a naked light bulb). If someone claims a "gain", I would
like to know where the losses are.
So, my question is: "Where are the losses?"
(If someone is brave enough to tell me that there ain't any losses, my
next question will be where the extra energy of the gain is coming from,
and whether it is possible to save the earth with this magical extra
energy that seems to spring into live from nowhere. ;-) )

Just returned with my wife Ilona from the Texel fly-in.
We both have had a wonderfull time over there. It was nice to see so
many Europa's live (instead of via pictures on the internet) and to talk
with some people I have known before only by name.
Thanks to all participants to make this happen!
If there is enough interest, we will post some pictures of the event.

Thanks to all attending this wonderful flyin. As Frans says, it was a real pleasure
meeting all of you, and finally being able to put faces to names!
And of course, those English local beers went down real nicely while having great
fun ;-)
I am sure that I speak on behalf of all that attended, that Tim Weert, Henk Roelofs
and many others have organized a great event, and that GA has been put under
the spotlight in very positive and safe way.
Congrats to all of us!
I had an absolute GREAT weekend!

Frans - I echo your sentiments. It was great to meet Ilona & you, and
all the other folk. I've only been to a couple of smaller, more
informal, events on the continent before and maybe resisted going
because I want to finish my own Europa rather than cadging rides in
others' planes.
Tim Houlhan invited me to go with him this time in G-BZTH and I am so
glad I went. I'm only sorry that my commitments here in Cheltenham
today dragged us away on Saturday afternoon.
>Thanks to all participants to make this happen!
The organisation and work put in by so many was much appreciated.
Everyone was so welcoming - Tim & I were specially impressed with the
kindness shown to us by Jacqueline Roelofs.
>If there is enough interest, we will post some pictures of the event
I didn't take as many pictures as maybe I should have but will try to
sort out a few that might be of general interest.
Where to put them?
It seems the Matronics photo-sharing mechanism is not well-suited to
multiple uploads as it's a manual operation.
The EuropaOwners Gallery seems to exist mainly for the building
process; not sure about the etiquette of re-purposing it towards
fly-in events.

Rowland...I think that's an excellent idea...since we already have a
"Flying Europa" category, it would seem reasonable enough to add one
for "Europa Gatherings" or perhaps under a more suitable title. I for
one would find photos taken at what you call "DOTHs" inspiration to
press on to completion.
