You spoke too soon – another A hole has appeared.
Only just over one page so far but no doubt it will be the usual mid-teens before anything’s done about it on Monday.
I’d never noticed it being completely random until yesterday, although I had noticed the odd one that I’d already read appear.
Sometime yesterday they cleared and then in the evening a new, different, batch turned up as unread.
They’ve cleared this morning, leaving one genuine unread…
It now seems completely random whether I’m logged in or not.
I looked just now and it said there were loads of new unread posts.
I read the only two there were this morning, but on the first page alone the hopeless software has now decided there are 27 unread posts going back over a week.
As with every other suggestion, it’s not economically or logistically viable.
Sywell always seemed unlikely to me for the same reasons but it’s a lot closer than anywhere else.
Logistically, there is literally nowhere other than Duxford that is practical, unless there is somewhere extremely close by that I haven’t remembered.
Most of the aircraft are based there and some pilots will fly several different aeroplanes during the course of the weekend.
That apart, think of the fuel costs alone involved in taking multiple heavy piston engines any distance and back.
I have my suspicions that this was something like the abolition of Friends of Duxford where some idiot wanted a larger slice of the pie and ended up with 100% of nothing.
Very good point. I feared the worst…
More to the point, work for free and guarantee to agree with Gillespie’s obsession.
It’s not rose-coloured glasses with the Spitfire.
It was designed as a short-range interceptor so why would it be expected to have a long range?
It’s ridiculous to even mention PPE as there was never any chance of government money being used and I don’t think it had ever even been suggested.
Much as I appreciated seeing the Vulcan fly again, years after I believed I’d seen it for the last time, I always thought that they had unrealistic ideas about future public financial support.
How long before somebody at Key spots it I wonder…
Somebody is finally on it.
The total forum page-count is coming down quite quickly – over 50 pages less since I first checked by hovering the mouse pointer over the last page button 10 minutes or so ago.
I spotted them – 12 pages in!
I guess the problem from the mods point of view is that this forum is cobbled together on a platform that isn’t designed to run a forum so the necessary tools aren’t available by default.
And, currently, another 14 pages.
On current form, well into three figures before anybody from Key condescends to do anything about it I guess.
This is an ex-forum, but according to Key, it’s doing brilliantly.
Monday at the absolute earliest unless Peter looks in.
I thought there was supposed to be a “report post” button but I’ve never found one.
Not that anybody would take any notice anyway…
Am I being cynical to think that it’s only because he’s run out of mugs to fund it?
