The Scottish Aero Club has been consulted for comment and we propose to register a “no objections” response as this is unlikely to affect our GA operations. It is however a useful reminder to check NOTAMs before every flight and to install an up to date electronic conspicuity device.  These drones will be equipped with ADSB in and out and Mode S transponders.

G-WATR - Hangar resident in fundraiser

A flight in Anna Walker’s floatplane G-WATR is part of a silent auction to raise funds for the Goodwood Flying Scholarship.  

The package invites you to take to the skies and embrace the thrill of flying in a Husky Amphibian seaplane, one of the very few seaplanes in the UK. Ideal for both novices and aviation enthusiasts, this two-hour flying adventure offers more than mere sightseeing – it’s a ticket to a magic exploration of the skies and lochs of Scotland. Anna Walker and Peter Kynsey, owners of the Husk and both qualified seaplane flying instructors, will share their passion for seaplanes.

Just over a week to go now to the closing date Anna Walker’s amphibious Christen A-1 Husky G-WATR flight experience is currently cruising  straight and level at £800 on the bid site below.  Or more if you would like to make a higher bid!

2025 Fly-In

Despite the weather, there was a lot to enjoy at this year’s Fly-in.  We hosted a total of seven visitors from as far north as Oldmeldrum and as far south as Teeside.  They all managed to continue their Navex flights before the rain and clouds rolled in during the afternoon.

Lunchtime remained dry when burgers and sausages were served and duly consumed!

The new attractions of an activity schedule for young people and the Guild of Aviation Artists exhibition went well.  A painting of the SCAA helicopter was donated to the charity and received by Russell Myles.

Ladies Day 2025

We hosted our 3rd annual Ladies Day on Saturday 6th September. Once again all of the attendees expressed amazement and surprise at the number and variety of aircraft owned by club members.

Everyone who flew was delighted with the experience.  The result of which is an ever-expanding group of advocates for the Scottish Aero Club.
