Hmm dont know what to think really but heres my bit
Maybe I was a bit quick in slating your website without seeing the rest of it first, but it would have been nice to have seen a website instead of the recruitment page. I dont think your site will get much attention until it is online properly. My aim with my website is to give people something to look at straight away. Thats why I designed the first 4 pages and then added a simple index page and from that I received more and more info. To think that your going to research all the material and then go live is nonsense there is always something else that comes up regarding an aircraft or an ace that you did not already know.
I actually like the format of your site and the webmaster of our newly formed group is writing something similar for us. But we already have a website packed with info and I have my own personal website as well. I would like to see the content of your site online and those links that have nothing in the database yet should be left blank. That way people would come and look at your website and think I would like to be part of that group. But at the moment all people see is a badgering recruitment page with little or no actual information instead of seeing the well designed but half finished website that you already have.
Perhaps if people were able to see the good work you and your team have already done they would want to contribute to the information already on then site or write a new profile for an aircraft or an ace.
If I had more time to myself and was a good reader then I probably would join your group if i came up to scratch but I have two groups to work with at the moment and am a member of a few others that I lead a less active roll in.
I research Aviation in the East of Scotland area and I dont limit myself to one particular type but anything in this area. Also I research and dig aircraft crash sites so my time is in short supply.
But I think we will all have to wait for your site to become active to view your work and perhaps then you might recruit new members with good content.
It seems slightly ironic about you talking about grammar and spelling as the men you research were pretty bad at those things as a whole. If you read any combat report or accident form they are full of mistakes and english errors. Not trying to get at you but just a little humorous point.
Just get some content on the website thats all.
I do agree with the others on some points they have made and I agree more with what Ashley said than I do the rest. She always seems to make more sense than the rest of us.
Not much content of anything just waffles on about a few things and pops up join the team at the title. Not very good website but I am willing to be proved wrong.

New forum
Apart from all the set up crap to go through for the third time I think the new forum is a bit more dynamic and I dont mind one bit that the ratings system seem to have been dropped. Its one less think for people to argue over and there has been some arguments.

Model display
Hi guys just to add there will be a small model display after the days events and if you are still around on Sunday wondering what to do the Model Flying club have their club day on a sunday so why not come along and watch some flying. The club aite is 5 minutes along the road from East Fortune and is based on an old WW2 airbase that many of you will know of namely Drem.
I will be at East Fotune on the Saturday and will be flying my model afterwards at Drem if there is enough Daylight / time left.
Hope to see you there.

RE: Webmaster!
It has been said before and it will be said again. If you dont like the guy then dont read his posts. Its just a pity you cant get a block on the forum like you do in MSN messenger. If you dont like the posts then you could block that user.
Good idea I think. But plain and simple just dont read his posts A330

RE: Most and least changed
The Lanc didnt change much but my question is:-
Was the Lancastrian version (civil people carrier) changed much in appearance.

RE: Rolls Royce and RM689
Hi David,
Partly what you said is true. It would be foolish if a museum gave away all its spare parts but as with the Museum of Flight in Scotland they gave the Dragon Rapide undercarriage to the one fly so it could fly in their display. Otherwise it may not have flown that year.

RE: Rolls Royce and RM689
Sorry have to disaggree with you there I think that if its repairable then it should be released for flight restoration or again if someone is willing restoration for static. I know that the deceased pilots would hope this would happen as well. It in the blood its all to do with the love of flight.
Just my thoughts.

RE: Jo Whileys radio show on Radio 1.
Hi Andrew,
why not drop a line to someone at Radio 1 then and find out if they are still banned. I doubt that they are banned now as I heard them being played on Mark and Lard’s show not so long ago.
