To think that he’s unaware of this forum is pretty daft. We are a vocal part of his audience for Gods sake! We are feedback on what he does.

I don’t believe that he is unaware of them. Not for a second, Snapper but i would think of it in the respect that for any unfair comments TFC recieve on here or other forums for that matter, there are probably countless more occasions when he gets good feedback or is thanked/congratulated by people at shows. Im sure they know from this and also from the support of The Friends of the Fighter Collection that they are appreciated. This is what Steve 964 post was about at the core, not showing respect for the people who put these planes in the air etc and how we should alter the way we post in respect of them. I think that is the exact opposite of the way people act on this forum, bar a couple of misplaced words occasionally. As for the CAA. Id not thought about that or mentioned it.

that sums it up in a perverse way of the way you intented it. We are a vocal part of his audience so long may we continue to express our views so that he can hear them if he wishes.

Best Regards, Steve (of the Hatton variety)

ps- define anorak, im guessing you mean it in a derogatory sense?

Being ungrateful and unduly negative towards warbird operators is not appropriate but what is the problem with a little speculation on what is going to appear? Surely it only shows how passionate people are. I cant imagine Stephen Grey etc sitting read our comments and getting that upset by the content of them. It seems that there are a large number of unregular posting members who like to get upset on peoples behalf. Other members are of the type who are usually very quiet members until they feel like some sarcasm. They know who they are.
