    Aircraft so ugly that the earth repels them.

    Tony,

    Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

    Lets hear Paul’s.

    My only other comments are that of support to the “3” and that Key should seriously consider a overhaul of their CoC rules of engagement so there will be no more confusion as to where we all stand posting on Key fora.

    Sorry for any confusion Moggy but I dont think that point had been made clear in any of the previous posts.

    If it has I apologise.

    Point clearly taken.

    Moggy. Bed is for wimps. Night mate.

    Heading to bed myself now.:p:)

    Sorry Moggy I tend to disagree with what you have said but I do understand your intention totally. I know what the Mods have done has the best intentions of the whole forum at heart. But…..

    Kev has already state the CoC part of Key that removes blame from them completely.

    And you yourself have stated that they broke no CoC rules.

    Therefore….

    The offending thread should be pulled (Which it has been. I am assuming because I neither know nor care which thread it was.)

    The members involved should be reinstated with immediate effect but warned not to instigate any discussion of the offending thread or comments about until all has been cleared by the webmaster.

    The nameless party should be put firmly in the picture of what is happening including the fact that the webmaster is away.

    Finally any member found to be going against what is agreed would be banned on a permanent basis or until the webmaster say so.

    I see it a simple straight forward way of thinking to be honest.

    The legal action if any is to be taken lies at the door of the posters and not Key publishing and I dont think the members should be banned until legal action is taken or not. And even then no member really need be banned unless they break CoC and Key operating policies.

    I think with what you have said now Peter that you have been fair mentioning as much as you have.

    I think Kev really has pointed out the CoC well enough that the Members should be reinstated immediately but warned from any further comment of said topic. And in addition the situation should be reviewed by the webmaster on their return.

    I would imagine the threads have already been pulled and serve no futher purpose here.

    I would also let the nameless know that the thread has been pulled and be advised that Key would review the situation on their return. I am assuming it is actually a personal threat of legal action and not commercial. And in that case it would be the members who would be liable and not Key.

    Go on do the right thing discuss it between moderators and get our members back online tonight or tommorrow. There really isnt anything to lose as its all there in the small print.

    No problem I will look it out over the weekend and see if I can get it copied for you. Will reply via PM for details.

    Totally wrong on more than one account that respected forum members have been banned albeit until legal obligations have been checked.

    I guess that Key have to be careful in what is said on their forums because it becomes their responsibility but if this is the action of nameless authority and Key jump every time a threat is made then why have a forum with members in the first place.

    KEY!!! Please stand up for the rights of your members.

    Because a great many knowledgable members have slipped through your net already. Try and not lose any more.

    As it has come to light Mods acting on the side of caution and Key being slightly out of the loop at this moment in time. I stand by my comments and would like to clarify that I am not having a pop at Key but please review the situation carefully and quickly.

    I am pretty sure I have a copy of a manual for the G-45.

    I once copied it for a guy on ebay so he could sell it with instructions.

    Would you like me to look them out to see what exactly I have.

    If you cover the cost of copy and post I can send you or anyone that wants one a copy.

    Cant remember the quality but sure it was decent.

    There is a lot of that latter kind of thing about at the moment. And more people than you’d credit being taken in by things that aren’t credible. 😉

    Andy,

    To be perfectly honest with you if I was to offered a log book at the right price I could almost certainly be taken in by this kind of scam. That is at least until I started doing some research on the airframes etc.

    I know there will be a lot of this and other scams going on just now. Look at the control stick scams not so long ago and the ebay spitfire pieces or dambuster pieces that we see almost any day.

    I suppose the best defence against this kind of trade is to not have dealings with this type of trade at all.

    Trouble is these people seem to never get caught.

    Looking like someone got a blank original log book and decided to do a real hash job.

    It cant be too difficult to research the squadron ORB to find out which aircraft were with the squadron at the time. I recently did this for a pilot with 65 squadron.

    You have to wonder why go to the bother of producing a very very poor fake.

    Beats me.

    Piper Cub?

    But only for the short take off records.

    Like the swamp buggy Cubs you see with the huge wheels on them.

    My guess is something like the Typhoon. Which aircraft do you know that pulls back the stick and has to pull back the throttle so it doesnt go supersonic?

    I also think that Moggy could be right with F18 but possibly F16 too.

    What your forgetting people is that it matters not one cent which aircraft it was that he was flying the fact is a man lost his life in that accident. All the rest of the details will become apparent once the dust settles.

    RIP Brian North
