ok guys, fellow club member here. i helped Chris look for ages for this thing, no sign of it, check out the pic for our club site and the cliffs at the end ( marked in blue )
the local fishermen always know a fiend of a mate who's heard about our club, a few phonecalls later and things nearly always turn up ( i told you it would Chris )
this has to be the time and distance record, a few years ago Malcolm Corbin lost a plane and was found 8 miles out or sommit, Mark lost a trainer last year had that was back within a fortnight.
one even went out and came back all on it's own a minute later!

now you have to judge the pilot on a couple of things, one he went AWOL, but he did manage to find help, looks like he's not shaved in all this time either. maybe put him on Michaels plane until he's learnt his lesson, then try him in something simple
