With what I have seen and heard about on other forums there tends to be from some quarters in the monitoring side, a childish manner in which if they see a thread about what they don’t like they will delete or put a ban on a member. ( Yes if the member has been offensive or insulting then rightly so.) But to ban someone like in your case or anyone else’s by using a word which is totally harmless, then they need to start to look at themselves a bit more. The idea of a forum is to be able to talk on most topics under the relevant headings, it comes across that some of these powers that be, lack the common sense or who are scared.

What’s the world coming too!!!, next minute if you trip over a pavement and curse a few words, the pc brigade will be out threre!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think those days are gone from the barnstorming era of 1930’s or 60’s. Like any industry at the present recruiting new employees go through a wide range of tests to see if they are suitable. What you want is someone who is levelheaded and not a hot head, who can fly the aircraft safely and competent and yes just like Chesley Sullenberger.

Will they be filming at Scampton i wonder. I think personally if going to start removing bits here & bits their from the new film, then just keep with the original!!

Used to see the Ag-Cats & Pawnees spraying around the Lincoln area in the 70’s & 80’s. Saw them operating from Fiskerton a few times.

I flew in XV213 whilst in the Falklands on a 4.30 hour flight at low level great fun!!
