    I stand to be corrected, but I don’t see any problem.
    I use an Apple TV device for watching (mainly) Youtube videos on the TV. I probably use it more for that,
    than I do watching actual TV programmes.

    Around 45 years ago, I worked with a chap who flew on a pathfinder squadron. I seem to remember he
    was either a navigator or radio operator.
    I don’t know how many flight’s he made, but I remember him saying that he never saw an enemy aircraft.

    Strange (or maybe not ?) that John Longworth has been forced to resign as director general of the British Chambers of
    Commerce. The argument being, that he is supposed to remain neutral.

    This didn’t seem to apply to the military top brass, who apparently penned a letter saying we should stay in Europe.
    Although it later emerged that this letter composed in Downing street, included names of those who had not agreed to
    it’s wording, and at least one declined to be associated with it.

    I’m not really into GA aircraft, but that Cessna certainly looks the part.

    I thought Boris gave a very good performance on the Andrew Marr show this morning.
    Just a shame that he wasn’t allowed to answer questions without being interrupted.

    Whatever people might say about Boris, he’s a clever man. In a one to one debate, I reckon he’d
    run rings around Cameron.

    Not a problem in the UK as far as I am aware.

    There was a piece on Forces TV. Showing aircraft and talking to the woman
    in charge.

    That response is very well worded.
    I look forward to reading the response to it by the CAA spin doctors 🙂

    NIMBYs………………. Not In My Back Yard, describes those who protest about adjacent neighbouring airfields, farms, roads, development etc….

    Including many who have bought second homes in the area, pricing locals out of the housing market.

    We went two years ago and it was a good day out. Including bus tours of the
    airfield. Carolyn Grace flew her Spitfire and a Yak flew. Probably no flying this year (?)
    I imagine their Jaguar will be “live”
