Just heard a rumour that there are no German veterans allowed at this years Flying Legends, is this true, and if anyone knows this to be the case, just what might be the reason behind such an absurd decision?

Ok, having read this through properly, I would like to remind all members (not that you all need reminding, but to keep it fair ;)) that rumour mongering can lead to a whole heap of trouble – this forum is not just a board for a few like minded people it is a global community with members (and perhaps even more importantly silent observers from all over the world – including stalwarts of the aviation community) Unsubstantiated rumours can be very damaging, and the posting of such rumours is actively discouraged. Given that this thread in my opinion serves little purpose than to stir up trouble and bad feeling, I will lock this thread. Any queries please PM me.
Oh and veetwin, to answer your question, I think the day the IWM or TFC ban German veterans from attending Legends, Satan will be skating to work.

Veetwin,
Sorry to be boring and factual, rather than taking the thread with some levity it deserves, but racism is actually illegal in the UK (not that you’d know it on the forum on occasion. 😀 ) so your rumour is just that. A nasty little piece of stiring you are helping spread.
How, exactly would you ‘stop German veterans’… No, it’s just to silly to even shoot down.
Not true.

flying legend rumours
The point is, I heard this rumour from a close source, that a prominent company with a trade stand has been prevented from bringing over some German veteran pilots. If this is the case, this is despicable, and smacks of hideous false protocol!
We all know that airshows need to be revitalised and Luftwaffe aircraft on the circuit will do just this, as will veteran pilots. Only last week I received an email offering me an Fw 190 for an airshow…we need these fast.

There are indeed.
Stewart – Robbo is 100% right. I am merely teasing you, that is all. I’m actually hoping to meet you either at the show or in the Red Lion afterwards

Snapper, stop teasing the feeble minded.
Stewart, stop being the feeble minded.
92fis, stop preying on the feeble minded as the only people you can engage in a battle of wits.
Feel free to squabble amongst yourselves, there really are more important things in life than this nonsense.

forgot to mention that they where all germans who visited
By: eurostar builde - 21st June 2005 at 04:34
Lat year there where 30 or so planes at Fowlmere up the road that visited and night stopped.

Right, I’ve had enough of this nonsense, there are more important things in life than this inanity. This forum used to be a place where an enthusiast could come for a bit of informative pleasure, it’s now getting to the point where valued contributors don’t bother to tread. How low does the forum have to sink before it starts to rise again?

If they let me in they’ll let anyone in. Personally I hope this rumour proves to be false. The time has come to bury the hatchet (not in someone’s head either) but at the same time to remember the losses on both sides.

To quote Basil Fawlty – “For God’s sake don’t mention the war………….!!!!!!!!!”. I do of course mean the verbal war between Blair, Schroeder and Chirac. We beat one in 1945 and rescued the other a year earlier so sucks boo to you……………!!
Seriously though, I would love to see a large contingent of both French and German warbirds and their pilots at Legends. They do add something special along with the pilot contingent from the USA plus a couple of New Zealand aces.
No matter what appears we are gonna have a memorable weekend.
Cheers,

Wait until they are isued with their tickets, then snap your heels and declare “Heil Hitler”. If they raise their arm and repeat the oath then don’t let them in. Simple.
Oh and come on guys, lets not turn yet ANOTHER thread into a flame war? Eh? Perhaps we should create a seperate board for it all, and make it the proverbial ‘after school on the playingfields’? Hell we could even have an Indian vs Pakistan one on sticky there and take bets…
