Having fulfilled an ambition to get to Ireland, and having changed the radiator
after the small leak (thanks for the suggestions on that), I am now looking to
go east of Calais (FR) preferably somewhere interesting in Holland. Would be
good if would be in reach of Amsterdam or a point of interest by train or bus.
Any suggestions/recommendations? I gather they are not all that supportive
of GA?
Do UK folk or Dutch folk to the straight across route to East England coast or
cross the water at the shortest point? I seem to recall DJC saying he had some
fuel reading issues on a straight across trip.

Hi! Graeme,
I have regularly attended Texel EHTX it is a holiday island and many Dutch
people go there, but it is a ferry and rail issue to get to Amsterdam.
The most friendly and accommodating airfield I have ever used.
They allow camping during their rally but there is ample accommodation
locally as well as the airport hotel. Bike hire is fine and easy ride to
nearest holiday resorts.
I fly direct from Wickenby and with Norfolk sticking out into the North Sea
theres only about 30 minutes of flight without land in sight . about 1hour
45mnutes total .....I think their rally clashes with the LAA Rally dates
this year but I know where I'm going "!
Regards
Bob H G-PTAG.

Graeme, Holland is a small country so almost anywhere is within
reasonable train distance of most other places. I certainly wouldn't say
it is unfriendly to GA. I have found Midden Zeeland, Hoogeveen, Lelystad
and above all Texel to be very welcoming, and like Bob would very much
recommend the Texel Rally. It is only slightly mad people like Bob H and
those like me who have had a serious fall out with the Belgian
authorities who go straight across 100 miles of N Sea. Everyone else
goes over to Calais or Dunkirk (carefully avoiding the Calais
Nucleaire!) and then along the Belgian coast. As far as I am aware there
is no GA airfield within taxi distance of Amsterdam and I might be
inclined to do serious Amsterdam tourism by Easyjet or whatever and fly
elsewhere in Holland for the pleasure of flyingyour own plane. You may
get more specific advice from our Dutch Europa friends.

| Subject: | cross-tube engagement with flap pins |
I have searched in vain for a picture Im sure I recall seeing of Bob Harrisons
tapered lead-in feature to ensure that the flap drive pin lines up with the cross-tube
as it approaches during rigging. Bob mentioned his mod (Im sure its NOT
a mod as far as LAA Engineering are concerned!) in a posting to this list back
in 2005 but I cant find a reference to a picture.
I have an idea how I might construct and shape such a thing - Id rather like to
see if my ideas match those already proven to work!
Bob - do you have a pointer to a photo of these parts, please?
in friendship

Hi Graeme
Hilversum is a nice grass airfield just to the east of the Schiphol zone, and there
are trains from the town of Hilversum to Amsterdam.
I have used Hilversum in the past and found it to be a very friendly airfield.
Keep a good lookout for traffic though, it can get busy around there, with everybody
at 1000-1200 feet because of the proximity of the Schiphol zone.
Regards
John
