Hi Folks,
Here is a message from Nigel Charles, until recently a leading light in the Europa community,
Cheers, Paddy

We appreciate that the Europa Club already run a self help breakdown service for club members however take a look at these system we are setting up below. It can run in parallel with the Europa Club system, costs nothing and will in due course greatly increase the number of people who could offer help in the event of breakdown away from home base. Very often, as I found out once with my Europa, the help ends up coming from someone who is not a club member anyway. We need all the help we can get in such situations.
We are launching a new website called ‘Stranded Flyer’. This website is designed to provide pilots and GA enthusiasts with a self help facility. There are times when we could all do with some assistance away from home base whether due to aircraft unserviceability, weather or for any other reason that precludes flying the aircraft back to its home airfield. The idea is that anyone who would like to receive assistance also makes themselves contactable in case they can assist another pilot in difficulty.
The initial trial to ensure the system functions has gone well so we are now opening it up to everyone. There will be a news item about this website in the next edition of Flyer magazine due out on Friday. To help us get things going we are emailing our GA friends to ask for help to start populating the list. This could ultimately be of help to you and all registered pilots and costs nothing. If you would like to join ‘Stranded Flyer’ please go to https://sites.google.com/site/strandedflyer2/ and register as a helper. Once registered you will be able to view the map showing pin markers for other members. Your own pin will then be added within the following few days.
If you like the site please spread the word. The wider the coverage the better the service. We appreciate any feedback you might have. General comments can be sent to us at strandedflyer(at)gmail.com (strandedflyer(at)gmail.com).
Regards
Nigel Charles and Tony Oliver
