General Aviation Discussion / Forum Upgrade - Update
« Last post by casper on August 12, 2023, 04:11:36 PM »Hi All,
I'll be upgrading the forum tomorrow morning. Hopefully you all received an email about the impending upgrade. As mentioned in the email you will have to re-register with the forum. We're basically starting afresh. I'll have all the categories created but if you were party of the 'Military Movements' group you'll have to bear with me as I re-add you to it.
This forum will be made read only and placed in a sub folder of the new forum and will always be accessible for viewing.

General Aviation Discussion / Forum Update
« Last post by casper on August 05, 2023, 01:10:51 PM »Hi All
just to let you know I've decided to close the forum as it stands and start afresh. I'll archive it and it will always be available but will be read-only.
I'm doing this because the software that the forum runs on has 'branched off' in a different direction and I can't update this forum to it. So as it stands the current forum software is out of date with no support, therefore no more updates. This means that it becomes a security risk (hacking etc.). And as you also know there has been some issues for a while regarding posting etc that I can't get resolved.
The new software branch will look more or less exactly as the old one but will be fully supported.
The downside is that I can't recreate all the user accounts so current members will have to re-register, and I will have to setup permissions and forum section again.
I think this a positive step for the forum going forward
I'm hoping to get this done next weekend, or earlier, if I can manage it.
Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause but hopefully the disruption will be minimal.

Newtownards / EGAD 4th August 2023
« Last post by Angry Turnip on August 04, 2023, 06:23:04 PM »I took myself down to Newtownards EGAD today to see what was about, and was surprised to see this beastie.
I believe it arrived 1055 on Tuesday from Milan.
N83TY DASSAULT AVIATION MYSTERE-FALCON 50EX owned by TVPX AIRCRAFT SOLUTIONS INC TRUSTEE ( I`m told it belongs to Eddie Irvine, but then anything shiny and expensive spotted in North Down is attributed to him) Owners are a corporation to keep actual owners name private, so maybe there is something to it.
I wonder what the locals will think when it departs. Will they drop their bottles of Bucky ?
