  • To France of Course!
    As Chantilly’s adventures in our hands terminated with her sale this year 2015 (to France of course!) I have elected to compile our Funnel reports of her travels, hopefully as encouragement for those contemplating similar cruises or simply to while away the odd coffee break. The articles are presented in chronological order, and some waterways were visited more than once, but as each cruise presented different aspects of the navigation, they are all included. Chantilly with John and Françoise Tilley on the river Mayenne. I WASN’T BORN A STEAM BOATER-I VOLUNTEERED! Some years before its centenary in 1986, Trent Valley Sailing Club mooted suitably colourful ways to celebrate it. I was much taken with one of the club’s old photos, reputed to be circa 1886, of a mucky, tubby steamer with a decided list coming into the landing at Trent lock bristling ladies with parasols and naughty boys with their legs over the side, prepared to disembark. So with some experience of ‘0’ gauge steam in my teens, I volunteered to replicate this aspect of the 19th century boating life, and provide a steamboat. The first stage was easy; I obtained a Stuart Turner catalogue, chose a set of engine castings, and innocently made it. It happened to be a SWAN, the biggest I could just struggle to make on my much misused 1936 3 3/8” ZYTO lathe previously used for sharpening pencils and other domestic purposes. Then I needed a boiler. I had in mind, a substantial drum, suspended over a fire. During the early work, I met up with a notorious steamboater of that time, Tony Gregory.

  • FBO Survey 2021: Rest of the World
    FBO SURVEY RULES AND METHODOLOGY This report on AIN’s FBO survey covers fixed-base opera- tions in the Rest of the World. History AIN has been conducting surveys since 1981, asking about the ser- vice that FBOs provide their customers and reporting the results from these annual surveys. Initially, we sent out a paper survey questionnaire by mail to qualified subscribers in the U.S.—pilots, flight attendants, and dispatchers—the people who use or make arrangements with FBOs. In later years, qualified subscribers in the remainder of North America and the rest of the world were added to the survey. In 2006 we moved the FBO survey online. We have continued to add FBOs each year and now offer respondents a comprehensive list of 4,500 FBOs worldwide. The Survey The FBO Survey site allows subscribers to keep a list of personal- ized FBOs and from this list they can easily change or affirm a prior rating and leave an updated comment. The scores in this report and on our website reflect the cumu- lative average of scores from 2014 through today. Only the most PART 2 recent rating of an FBO is counted on a per-user basis and only FBOs that have received 20 or more ratings are eligible for their scores to be published. We did see slightly reduced feedback this year due to FBO Survey 2021: Rest of the World the COVID-19 pandemic as many readers informed us they had not flown nearly as much as they had during the prior survey period.
