Bodmin Flyer March 19 The Bodmin Flyer MARCH 2019 The Bodmin Fryer – Dottie and Keith Elderkin All change at Diner 31 By Jay Gates The sad day has come, and we’ve had to say a heartfelt ‘thank you and goodbye’ to Carol and Steve Farnell in Diner 31 after more than two and a half years of providing sustenance to members and visitors at Bodmin airfield. It’s been known for some time that Carol and Steve were contemplating moving back up to the Manchester area to be closer to family. Other unrelated factors added to the decision-making process, and after a good family Christmas up north, Carol told us she wanted to leave on her return to work after the break. Carol’s leaving was marked by the presentation of several bouquets of flowers, many cards and a number of bottles of wine. Club Chairman Pat Malone made a presentation on behalf of everyone at the club, wishing Carol every success in future and imploring her not to pass the end of the road without dropping in. We are extremely sad to see them go, and wish them both well for the future. They will be staying in the local area for a while yet, and we’ll be seeing Steve around the airfield on Trago-related maintenance jobs. Carol has also offered to help out on future events. On the Carol – don’t be a stranger! flip side, we’ve also been extremely lucky to find for ten hours on G-EGLA. A ten percent discount worthy replacements in the form of Dottie and Keith on ten hours on the 152s would save you £130, Elderkin. Some members will know them – they while a 12.5 percent discount on a prepaid block organise the monthly breakfast meet at the airfield of of 20 hours would save £325 on the 152s and the Cornwall owners of American Street Cars and £362.50 on the 172.

Dottie and Keith moved to Cornwall two There are a number of issues to settle, however. Hours-builders might be expected to take the aircraft on longer trips, and we don’t want to put CFC in the position of having to recover a Cessna with a technical issue in, say, Germany. It’s important to stress that the blocks of hours must be used within six months of purchase, so if your flying pattern doesn’t indicate that level of use, it might not be for you. All other terms and conditions would remain in place, including the minimum whole-day hire charge of three hours. Full details in the next newsletter.

Roger Davis has undertaken a full survey, stripping panels, crawling through roof spaces and foundations, and he has made a report for the Board meeting in March. First indications are that while some parts of the structure are pretty rotten and will need attention, other parts are in surprisingly good nick.

Those conditions almost defeated everybody bar Rob Bellamy, who battled through atrocious road conditions in his 4x4 for no other reason than to feed our precious hangar cat, which he calls ‘Tiddles’. What a star he is! Unfortunately, the guttering on the Trago Hangar could not sustain the weight of snow and the full length of guttering came crashing down. Trago are in the process of remedying the problem, and Steve Farnell is conducting the repair programme himself. For those who watched the mayhem unfolding on local and national news, many will remember the 400 students and staff who got trapped overnight in Callywith College, and the extremely well spoken and sensible young man called ‘Chris’ who was ‘The inner child’ – Sandy’s snow angel interviewed by the BBC and who appeared on BBC Southwest ‘Spotlight News’ and on the national BBC Breakfast TV programme. ‘Chris’ was none other than our young PPL student Chris Thorns, refresher training to Dan Gordon, a microlight who recently completed his first solo under Nick colleague based at Roche Airfield and the owner of a Chittenden’s instruction.

  • Newsletter FINAL PRINTERS EDITION
    Editorial Exactly ten years ago the first edition of the newsletter appeared, and its present production team would like to thank all their predecessors, contributors, distributors, advertisers, artists and those who’ve been kind enough to say they’ve enjoyed reading it. We hope to keep it interesting and therefore we encourage more uninvited articles from our readers. So tell us about your adventures, discoveries, interests, favourite jokes – add photos or other images too. How about someone resuming the lovely biographies of longer-stay residents along the same lines as David Hall used to do? And guest reporters of Parish Council meetings would be especially welcome, remembering to tell the chairman that he’s off the hook for the write-up that night. Please would all contributors send copy to the team by the 15th of the month preceding issue. This ensures a calm editing process, timely distribution, and eternal blessings on you and your household. P.S. Don’t be miffed if sometimes we have to reduce text to fit available space, or to cut down on colour to stay within budget. Parish Council Matters At the Council meeting on 18th January, we began with a presentation by Andrew George, Director of the Cornwall Community Land Trust about affordable housing. A CLT is a community-led organisation providing land and buildings to meet the long term needs of that community. This includes building affordable homes for locals. Membership of a CLT is open to everyone in the community, so everyone can have a say on what happens. In Cornwall, successful CLT’s have been set up in St Just-in-Roseland, Delabole and St Minver, for example.
