Tim, the importance of true family farms cannot be underestimated, but it must be possible to protect these families and mitigate against IHT whilst also discouraging the very rich from buying farms simply to dodge IHT?

Well, if you would like to, I would be happy to take you. If you are in England for a few days, about an hour train ride from London.

EGSY makes me think of the Kingsman films!
Steve, have you ever done any glider flying?

Here is my Slingsby Skylark 2, rescued from a barn where she spent 20 years and was going to be cut up and scrapped. Hopefully she will fly again next year.

Thanks! I think that’s the problem, not much chance to practice. I did some training but never got round to the exam and we don’t need a license for the gliding frequencies currently.
Anyway, if you ever fancy a flight in a glider…

The 737-200 reminds me of package holidays as a child in the 70s flying with the likes of Britannia, Dan Air or Orion (anyone remember them?) Always used to visit the flight deck in flight.
