    AFH10 A bit sweeping I think. I think the many thousands out there do appreciate all the hard work. Don’t make the same mistake politicians make when we dare to criticise some suggestion or piece of legislation they are responsible for. You may find that criticism then comes your way from those that may think you are right.

    I’m sure many do, I don’t personally mind critisicm, I can always ignore it after all.

    Isn’t that the Queens birthday flypast? Just watched the practice, no red ego’s but they might be in the real thing on Saturday I guess.

    How many tickets are they selling? compare what they expect to get with the cost of flying their aircraft in the mini display. I think you will find they don’t make much out of the day and those who buy tickets the the chance to get up close and personal with the aircraft that aren’t ordinarily accesible.

    The Piper Tripacer series has got to be the most inelegant of the Piper designs.

    Ummmm AHF 10 the connection between paint and the Vulcan is a little tenuous to say the least. However I sympathise with those who spend vast sums for our enjoyment only to see some nerd pick holes in the paint scheme, or wrong exhausts etc etc. I suggest dealing with the criticism directly, and with paint it is simple, be direct and just ask “were you there then”. That stops it.

    With the Vulcan be clear. Many people have voiced lots of criticism of this project, some of it justified when viewed from the persons point of view, much of it rubbish, being just a personal or emotional view masquerading as fact but often with out substance. There is nothing more guaranteed to get the forum going into full afterburner than to make a comment inferring greater knowledge, and then not producing the goods, however well intentioned.

    This only results in criticism for the poster in a situation that may not be justified. So if you don’t want it, don’t post it.

    I will now dive for cover into my hardened shelter built especially to observe Russian ICBM’s arriving over Stanstead.

    Absolutely, but hear what people have to say first before trashing it.

    But if your “inside information”, or whatever it might be, is as uninformed and patently scurrilous as your first post on this thread, then you would do well to think twice before typing.

    Seems to me that you have already formed an opinion on what Phil may know without hearing it.

    Er yes…..

    Can you point me to where on this thread anybody has mentioned the paint on the Vulcan?

    By all means ride your hobby-horse, but it might be better were you to start a new topic.

    Moggy

    Moggy,

    delete paint and add just anything about historic aircraft that enthusiasts go on about. If you really want to make a difference put overalls on and get stuck in.

    The point is everyone has an opinion about things and should be allowed to air them without getting jumped on.

    Oh and I can well remeber when someone put forward the idea of sponsorship for the Vulcan and lots of enthusiats had kittens that it might fly around with Coca Cola painted on it.

    Can you possibly explain why it makes you angry?

    My Turland’s choice of things to spend his money on is very laudable, but his post linking this expenditure to his worthiness to pontificate on the Vulcan was a bit of a non-sequitor, which was what WebPilot was pointing out wasn’t it?

    Moggy

    Sure, when someone spends a considerable amount of money on a historic aircraft and doesn’t quite get the paint the right shade, it gets slated by some. PT expresses his opinion and then gets a slating by some for expressing it. I wonder how many of them would volunteer to get their hands dirty every weekend helping Phil and co with rebuilding or offer some financial support? Bet they would all love a freebie ride in his machine though.

    Oh and T.Tomcat, Jen sends her best and says thanks for the comic relief. :dev2:
