I think UKAR has it’s place, and I visit the Duxford diary  weekly (although this time of year it’s a bit quiet) but the request for a historic forum has fallen on deaf ears, and it too suffers from heavy handed moderation.

 I remain quietly confident that Key will eventually bring the forum up to a usable standard, and whilst many forum users have left, many will also return, finding the grass decidedly browner elsewhere; it is unique amongst forums, maybe because the vast majority of contributors are British, and we like a bit of waffle in between the facts and the er, fiction.  Happy new year!   

Many thanks James.

Thanks for your replies guys, and yes I do have a rusty wheelhorse mower in the shed awaiting some winter maintenance!
