Real bumblebees are large, hairy insects with a lazy
buzz and clumsy, bumbling flight.
Many of them are black and yellow, and
along with ladybirds and butterflies
are perhaps the only insects that almost everyone likes.

Our “Bumble Bee” is a black and yellow
microlight.
She is a Thruster TST Mk1, built in
1988 and
lovingly cared for since then.
The Bumble-bee Flying Club comprises

Bumble-bee favourite web links
The lovely farm strip where the Bumble
Bee is based.
Visitors are usually welcome, but
pilots, please PPR and
avoid over-flying local villages.
The BMAA is the governing body of
microlight aviation in the UK.
If there is anything you need to know,
they will be able to tell you – or
point you to someone who can.
The BMAA runs a Yahoo! discussion group
for people
with something to say or to ask about the sport. ,
As with all such groups, there is a lot of chaff amongst the wheat.
This list points you to some of the
more interesting discussions.

Saxon Microlights is a small family-run
microlight flying school for London and Essex.
We specialise in teaching sport
aviation enthusiasts to fly safely in microlight aircraft.
We operate from a North Weald Airfield
within easy reach of the M11.
We are able to offer training from your
first air experience flight through to your microlight pilot’s NPPL
Air experience flights are near the M11
and M25 where you can watch the traffic jams or look out across London.
We know Angie from the BWPA
branch in Essex
We have visited her farm strip on many
occasions and have always been made welcome.
If you want to go there, you’ll
probably be welcome too. Make sure to phone her first for a briefing.
