Hi All,

 Tin foil hat time!!!! IMPO 

  I think this will more likely be the way going forward for a lot of historic aviation and not just for the reasons stated in the OP.  It’s as if all these regulations are made to make it harder and harder for historic aircraft to operate,  let alone the scarcity of AVGAS not being produced for piston engined  aircraft.

I mean just look at what they have done with Cars let alone the EU bow trying to stop old car repairs and they are just getting started on Motorbikes.  I can see anything that has an fuelled engine and not powered by electric energy being banned altogether:-  Motor Racing all forms/Motorboat Racing/Tractor Displays/ Steam Engines /Traction engines in fact anything you can imagine they will all be consigned to a static death eventually

Only one problem I can see really:- Where is all this electric coming from ?  The UK just does not have the infrastructure in place to support the electric vehicles at the moment let alone the future that is for Joe public never mind industry etc. etc. etc.

Here’s a thought:-  ( A block of flats anywhere you can imagine,  how’s that going to work ?  Massive network car park full of charging points, let alone being a vandal magnet what if one catch fire you know how quickly they spread from one to another, just as example. )

Back to the OP,  I can envision protests taking place at rather high profile Airshows and it will all be done in the name of progress and for Climate change with the likes of JSO or whatever group etc. etc. etc. deciding to spoil others enjoyment with their ruinous antics.

It wouldn’t surprise me if Airshows become the next target of the Racism warriors just as the Countryside has now become the major in vogue target.

Why can’t people just agree to disagree then move on with your life ?  All people have opinions and they are like noses everybody has one and all different.

So sad really :- (    Taking what is happening all around it makes you think,  these people are rapidly running out of targets a couple have already tried disrupting F1.

But hey I could be totally on my own here.

Hi All,

 Just thought I would ask anyone experiencing email problems in general ?   In particular with Virgin blocking your live mail from sending ? 

I have also had a few emails that start with Hello Pervert and demand money ?

Geoff.

Hi again Peter,

 Please check you PM’s I may have a lead on some tools your after, will keep you posted.

The  chap who is selling them said he has a couple of specialist tools with the prefix your after,  I don’t want to plaster his name and web site here just in case somebody else decides to buy them and then sell on to yourself for a quick profit.

Please answer as this is a genuine offer of help for the project as you requested :- )

Geoff.

Hi Peter,

 Please check you PM may have a lead on some tools your after, will keep you posted.

Hi All,

 After reading the brief life summary you realise we are rapidly approaching the age where all society will have are the memories told in and on various formats of the heroism such gentlemen.

Hopefully they will have all passed away peacefully to a better and more pleasant world than we currently have today.

RIP and Thank you Sir! may you be reunited with lost loved ones, friends and colleagues,

Geoff.

Just blasted through Ebay for anything of use really ?

Hi All,

 dhfan:- Not even if they moved their entire operation from Duxford ?

Geoff.

Hi All,

  I still think that Scampton was a perfect choice IMHO. Well I say that was before somebody in the government decided it would be a good idea to house illegals on it’s runways.

Still it’s a very sad state of affairs that possibly the leading European air display operators has been forced to go from airfield to airfield to organise a display for enthusiasts like us to marvel at. :- (
