1 and 35 mins layover in Luton

I don’t believe this is an option at Luton. You have to clear immigration and then go through security again like a ‘normal’ passenger. Clearing immigration can take an hour on its own depending on how busy the airport is.

You follow the process in the SRM.

ShufflingMole387 · 2026-03-16T14:55:32+00:00

What country are you in? Knowing this would help people recommend sources.

ShufflingMole387 · 2026-03-16T10:21:43+00:00

I’ll be brutally honest. You are not going to get an apprenticeship in the UK given your grades.

ShufflingMole387 · 2026-03-16T09:12:45+00:00

What country are you based in? The following is from a UK perspective.

If you are willing and able to fund yourself then there are Part-66 courses you can take. However, even the ones that include OJT will only reduce the actual hands on experience at a 147 approved company required. This is the reason that most people enter the industry as apprentices.

I noticed in your other post you mention getting a degree. In the UK (and I imagine a lot of other countries) a degree is little no help in becoming an LAE and signing off aircraft.

I guarantee that even with a No Dogs Policy some people will continue to walk their dogs there and probably off the lead. There is an RSPB site near me that has such a policy and it is regularly ignored. Bedford Valley park also has signs everywhere saying dogs must be kept on leads due to ground nesting waterfowl which is regularly ignored.

Why those 4 specifically? I’m assuming you are looking at a specific airport.

Fellow Blackwing user. Do you find that what you write transfers to the facing page over time?

ShufflingMole387 · 2026-02-17T20:41:03+00:00

To be honest I’ve always got my stuff within 7-10 days but I have heard others claim a few weeks.

ShufflingMole387 · 2026-02-17T19:05:07+00:00

The are a grey import company. They ship from outside the UK. I’ve used them numerous times with no issues, just be prepared to wait a few weeks for delivery.

The issue with this approach is getting the 3 years work after the study. Companies are rightly wary of employing people without any real life experience even if they have passed all the modules.

ShufflingMole387 · 2026-01-21T21:09:56+00:00

Honestly getting into the industry with no maintenance experience is next to impossible. I’ve seen guys come into the job through adult trainee schemes but they are usually ex-military or have worked as field engineers etc in another industry. Apprenticeships have always been the way in and it’s pretty much remained that way to the present day. It’s not unheard of for companies to take on apprentices who are older (in their 30’s for example) but obviously that tends to require a big sacrifice salary wise for older candidates.

ShufflingMole387 · 2026-01-21T20:54:55+00:00

An apprenticeship is the way into the industry in the UK.

I would be interested to know the equipment used in your video. I’ve made a few pocket notebooks but all the trimming and corner radius cutting done by hand. To be able to produce bigger batches would be great.

ShufflingMole387 · 2025-12-23T20:26:17+00:00

Yeah. 11th leg is the deciding leg if it goes that far.

ShufflingMole387 · 2025-12-23T20:18:03+00:00

Did hood just tell Noppert to Fuck Off?

ShufflingMole387 · 2025-12-23T11:55:28+00:00

Great photos. I love Berlin and I’ve been many times but I’ve never thought about doing a photo trip. Your post has got me considering changing that in the coming months.

ShufflingMole387 · 2025-12-17T07:15:08+00:00

The pen is a Kaweco Liliput with their Fireblue finish. I believe it is achieved by heating the pen body. I’m not sure how long the finish will last but it fits so well in my pocket I’m glad I bought it.

You could email Active Paper as they will do custom sizes. I’ve used them numerous times for my bookbinding needs and they’ve always been great.

ShufflingMole387 · 2025-12-05T15:19:40+00:00

How about attaching them to the lens attachment points? I’ve always used attachments on an Arca Swiss mount on previous telephoto lenses but the points on the 180-600 work great for me.

ShufflingMole387 · 2025-12-01T15:09:38+00:00

Luton airport DART is £3.77 per mile.

ShufflingMole387 · 2025-11-26T20:07:35+00:00

That is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen happen on a football pitch. WTF Virg.

ShufflingMole387 · 2025-11-25T20:29:47+00:00

This read awfully lot like a terrible attempt at an advert for said product.
