well, back from a 8 week trip to see the darker side of the
world. Found some interesting aircraft. Even met a legend at
LAX ;-)

What exactly does "the darker side of the world" mean? Canada?
United States? Other? If the USA, I don't especially like the
reference.

But nobody likes the US.
I do

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 enlightment 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.

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.

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.

No no no.

Your side of the world is in night when we are in day.

But you're right, you're grey clouds didn't help. In fact I had a few
cjhoice words about it :-)

No; *you* can't be serious. Glenn has a sense of humour; clearly missing in
you.

Seriously, are you still harping a on about this.
I already stated why I said it.
has nothing to do with your country being evil.
I think your comments are more portraying your country in a bad light than
anything I say.

You need to grow up.

It means the side of the world that is in night when I am awake on this
side.

Boy you're touchy :-)
