Here’s an example of what Tornado F3s in the RAF are increasingly looking like…

This might explain who is actually appearing in all these YouTube Hitler parody movies :diablo:

How many saved up for this forum?:)

Scout’s honour, none 🙂

I would personally like to see a banned/suspended sticky thread where the reasons why any members who get banned/suspended could be published. It seems at the moment there is no way of telling who is banned and who is not. It’s open and fair that we should see these reasons,(Not the particular details of), perhaps as a warning to us that others do get banned or suspended for their actions, also in all other things in life we know why we get punished/fined/imprisoned so is it not unreasonable to ask for more openness and to be treat more like adults from key? Incidentally I’m staying as it’s still the best aviation forum I go on

No, with all due respect I think this is a bad idea. I have seen a forum go rapidly downhill when the admin team were away and spambots were registering about 1 every ten minutes because the sign up process allowed them all in. It took quite a while for the webmaster to clear out the spammers when he got back and reset the sign-up process and I suspect that the majority of names on the banned list here are spammers.

I also fear that many people seem to think that a forum like this is some kind of democracy and that the will of the majority prevails. Having been banned from another forum (the official Kylie Minogue board since you ask) I know that a) the owning organisation has very little interest in what goes on unless there is adverse publicity which can impact on their business model and b) they can do what they like as owners without having to explain anything to anybody. Even the mods. On kylie.com we had an outbreak of gay porn being posted whilst the new Mr Admin was away on his holidays. It took a while to get through to the right person but when I pointed out the potential negative publicity from what was being posted on their site and under their (and her) name they couldn’t move fast enough. However, complain to EMI about the dictatorial nature of their mods? Couldn’t care less and eventually gave up responding to emails.

As for me, well after I was banned for being rude to the head mod (is that possible of me) I just carried on posting there because I had five other identities saved up for such an eventuality…

But hey, in the end it’s just a forum and I (and all of you) have a real life outside of here.

As mentioned before, the leading case is Godfrey vs Demon Internet

The linked site has an analysis of the case (others are available) which might help to explain why (in principle) KP is very twitchy although obviously nothing like that happened here. 🙂

I have to agree with you 100% Kev.

First of all it’s not a French Air Force Gazelle. It’s an ex RAF Gazelle HT3 and following their retirement from service all of them have been demobbed and now appear on a variety of civil registers (including Ukraine’s) many whilst still carrying their former RAF colours.

This one is coded E which would make it the former XW866 which is now on the UK civil register as G-BXTH. A quick check on G-INFO reveals that it is registered to an owner in Dalbeattie which suggests that a farm field in Scotland is very much its home turf…

It has to be said that it is not a good time to bringing the A380 into full service with airlines losing almost $1Bn per month according to IATA. If it was that successful would Singapore be parking them at Victorville?

I have long clung to the belief that the old story about the A380’s genesis (a misreading of transatlantic flight schedule data by not removing the ghost (multiple) flight numbers) bears some semblance of truth.

But then Mr McVitie might know something about that…
