Councils and operating an airport have a poor track record in the UK. My home town Blackpool saw very little change while the council owned the place.
In Scotland the Oban airfield has cost the council a fortune for little return,they took the best person off the job of promoting the place.

Good luck St Mawgan you deserve better.

By strange co incidence I work as an aerial photographer and my surname is Brindle.

Remakes

There is some confusion about remaking a film I think. For example how many films have been made about the events of D Day? Some are epics, others focus on a few characters eg Band of Brothers.

The core story is the starting point of the events and then it is really a matter of what slant the script decides to focus on. The Dambusters film tended to be more on the technology. I would like to see the characters given a greater depth. Certainly the ability to mount cameras in confined spaces can be used to convey flying sequences with a greater impact on the viewer. Can we be served a bigger helping of emotional moments so that the film has a lasting effect and is not just a film about WW2 aircraft on a dams raid.

But surely they were single engined?

Ok I will get my coat…

Tighar

Well its not really anti Tighar feelings. More a case of getting annoyed when a group based outside the UK gives an impression that they are the most experienced in the field and that gets lots of Uk based recovery people cheesed off and rightly so.

It just happens that Tighar generates a lot of press releases while most Uk teams get on with the job then publicise the results.

Tangmere is spot on to highlight the inconsistent approach of MOD and public funded museums to organised recovery.

The shocking truth is that windbreaks and other obstructions along the fence line unless part of an official enclosure have no legal validity. The people who put them there are not expecting anyone to challenge the claim. if I wander along and decide to stand in a windbreak section to get a particular photo angle then apart from stupid comments from the self appointed “owner ” of the windbreak section there is nothing to stop me. Threats of violence will be met with silence and if anything happens the person will be filmed and reported to the police.

My ticket price entitles me to stand and move in the public areas and no one is going to stop me .
