The whole of the Key Aero forum network is stone dead or on life support.  Of the nine boards, 5 have been moribund for months, and the others stagger on with spasmodic contributions, and minimal responses.   

There is no indication now that Key intend to remedy this situation, and it is  too late anyway.   Contributors, confidence, interest – GONE.

BUT,  the historic recreational community certainly still wants and needs a usable, comfortable and lively forum.  Social media is very unsatisfactory and transitory and is NOT a substitute.

There is an organisation at the heart of the UK historic aircraft scene presently working on the premise of establishing a new forum substantially along the lines  of the one we used to cherish.

At present we have forums with an impressive but narrower  remit, such as The Aerodrome (WW1 content ),  Warbird Info Exchange etc,( mainly WW2 types ) UKAR.   but the ideal platform embraces all these specialities. Nature abhors a vacuum.  and just for the moment the  sort of forum which we need is not available,  but hopefully,  there will be a much better option available before too long.
