What exactly does "the darker side of the world" mean?
You can't be serious!
I hardly think that the reference was to
cloudy skies, it was clearly a transparent reference to our
country being portrayed as evil, but tolerable just long
enough to snap some pictures before going back to a place of
enlightenment on the other side of the pond, and frankly, the
more rebuttals I read the more I feel this great country is
being maligned by the very people who benefit from their
relationship with us economically, politically, and
militarily (for protection against a strategic threat).

Having spent the last three months living with the same
lighting conditions as can be seen in most of Glenn's
photographs from Waddington, Duxford, Farnborough and
Coventry, it just seemed more likely that the comment referred
to the part of the world where the photographs were taken than
to a different part of the world entirely.

Then it should have been so stated and not looking like he was
stooping low to condescend to come to the United States and get
the hell back as soon as possible. Lots of people have come to
his defense on this, but if your version is truer than mine, why
hasn't he responded? I think we all know.

I do agree that the comment owed more to baiting the Poms than
strict accuracy, as there's blue sky in two of the pictures.
