What utter garbage. But then unless you’re a complete idiot, you must know that.

What part of my statement is factually incorrect?

The most over-rated aircraft in history. Famous only for spending most of the 1960s sitting on the ground at bases in Lincolnshire and Yorkshire while its crews drank tea and played cards, and for managing to almost completely miss Port Stanley runway with all 21 bombs dropped. To listen to the nonsense spouted by its supporters, you’d think it was the most significant aeroplane in history.

Actually, I’d say quite the opposite. The bredth of Facebook, in terms of historic aviation, is massive. Here, if you’re looking for anything pre-1939, it is very, very limited. It does take some time to navigate your way through the dross on Facebook, but the amount of information there once you start to delve, and the useful contacts to be made there, is simply staggering.

Sold to Paul Allen some years back, it is currently under restoration in an undisclosed location, with a confidentiality agreement in effect with the restorer (as is the case with all of Allen’s ongoing restorations).

It depends very much on the group. Some, as you say, are started, regulated and populated by morons. It is very easy and quick to find out which ones these are, and it only takes a second or two to hit the ‘leave group’ button. Some are administered and populated by pilots, restorers and historians and can be an incredibly useful resource, especially as the majority of such people have been driven away from forums such as this one over the years. Then there are the many pages for individual resorations, museums and operators, regularly updated – again, a hugely useful resource. You just need to pick and chose which groups you join and which pages you follow. Oh, and try to avoid engaging with the mass of idiots that Facebook attracts! 🙂

Oh, and don’t post any photos that you want to retain any sort of control over future usage of, ‘Copyright’ seems to be an alien concept to most Facebook users.

What’s declining on this forum, Bruce? Please expand

A vast amount of content (photos, news, restoration reports) is now appearing on Facebook. A decade ago, they would have appeared on forums such as these.

Was an identity ever established for this Dornier at Breck?
