Automatic entry for registered members. We'll pop a mail around at some point! If you win and don't want it, you can nominate a recipient.
(Don't worry - you don't have to go to Papua New Guinea for it).

(Don't worry - you don't have to go to Papua New Guinea for it). To allay inevitable concerns, the pig isnt involved  Though if I win, as I dislike flying, I may nominate him for a 'busman's' holiday

Thanks Andy, what would it be that we would have a lesson in?

It depends where you are... . We'll find a local flying school and pick something Cessna-ish. Quite a few allow you to take a friend in the back seat too if it is a four seater aircraft so if possible we will go down that route.
Unfortunately the company that rent Lightnings out in South Africa went out of business after one crashed (annoyingly nine months before I was hoping to do it!)

Reminds me that I wanted to be 'Icarus' on the platform but the name had been taken.
If I win I will nominate Andy Ablerate - I am only slightly more keen on a free flying lesson than on a free bungee jump, or a free parachute jump. How about an alternative of a free drone management session for those who like solid ground?

Second prize: an hour in a shipping container? Get the impression that ablrateandy would quite like to win that one as well. He's constantly eulogising about their benefits Given his recent purchase, too many holiday vids from the drone cam and there'll be a lender vote to put him in one

betterthanworking No room in the shipping containers. We've already got 180 refugees crammed into each one to subsidise transportation costs and maximise your returns.....

If it makes you feel any better, I've never bought anything crowdfunded before (or was it kickstarted? can't remember) and am running on the assumption that it will not perform as well as advertised  |
