I had a bit of a disappointment this week. Setting off on Saturday taking my wife Gabi on a short visit to nearby Hinton in the Hedges airfield, we discovered the passenger seat belt broken. The small plastic Tee piece that reacts against the spring to latch to the other lap strap was in two pieces inside the receptacle.
We did the short trip by road.
My granddaughters 6, 7 and 8 years old were traveling up the next day to fly with grandad.
Now every grandad knows, you do not disappoint the granddaughters.
I managed to borrow a friends C42 to do the three vip trips.
The seat belt had failed after only 4 people had sat in the right hand side, a bit disappointing and thinking about it, I am unsure I trust plastic internals with my or my families life. Any thoughts?
An RV builder friend has pointed me towards Crow safety gear.
On the brighter side, I can fly solo, which I am doing this morning, Tuesday.
All the best Alan Twigg

This should be strange, since any airline is very scrupulous about checking its planes, for various breakdowns or things that could affect a breakdown. But that still doesn't negate the fact that it is the safest form of transportation. When I fly, I usually don't even think about it. On the flight, I start solving quizzes, so that time will pass faster and still learn something new. For example, when you come across a question to which you do not know the answer, so I have to turn to quiz solver to find a solution. This is useful.
