Where to move - UK

Move a little bit further south to Sydney Australia, Perfect flying weather all year round and plenty of flying fields.!!!

Regards

Tom Watson Sydney Australia

not too bad here in NZ either :)

Isle of Wight........ Good clubs and best weather. John

Mm. I lve th esouth west.

Cornwall is rugged and sparsely populated and free of tourists away from the coasts.

Devon is softer and has very popualrt beaches in teh south, less so in teh north, Between lies darstmoor, and a little over, exmoor. Both wionderful places to settle into.

Somerest is a bit more civilised, but still great. Taunton is teh wrinklie capital of te south west.

Bags of places to fly. Yes, it des rain a lot, but not as much as wales and the norh West. Its warm too. warm and wet.

What about Guernsey :-)

Not a bad idea. Haven't been there since the last pop festival in...blimey - 1968?

Seems like the Isle of Wight would be very expensive to buy/rent a place to live.

My suggestion is, after been living i UK for 4 years and now early retired in the north (Sweden) is, Guildford, Godalming and Witley area along the railway from Waterloo down to the cost. Expensive, but really really nice areas

Check out estate agents, its not any more than the rest of the south.

You must be as old as me ;-o

I live in the south (High Wycombe) and I wouldn't be looking in this area to retire! Decent size homes going for 400,000 quid and crappily built on top of that.

Take your money and move to Florida or Texas!

Don't think so. No commerce there since its an island. Well not so much. Prices tend to reflect nearness to centers of great earning potential - e.g. London.

Used to be. Now populated by nouveau riche tossers in Volvos and BMW's.

Too near a center of great earning potential. Viz London.

No one who wants a bit of peace and quite and freedom wants

to live within 70 miles of London.

Visiting North Island NZ from the UK in a couple of months, staying with family in Tauranga. Any decent clubs/fields to visit while I'm there?

Also contemplating moving down there in a few years - any recommendations on best areas to look at from a model flying point of view?

Cheers, David

WTF is hyacinth Bucket when shes at home?

Dunno. I fell asleep after being up for two days solid.

And i can't remember much of the rest ;-)

However, those who were there, might remember a large yellow kite flying over the campsite for three days till the wind dropped. Yus. That was mine!
