I am not ashamed to admit that one of those photos
is of me.

Neil, whom was my team manager at the time of the photo,
is the guy in the blue t-shirt in the foreground.

Owain, Did you know that Neil was there taking photos? Was the way
you flew influenced in any way by the possibility you could be the
subject of a great photo?

thanks

Please dont forget that this death was caused by incredibly
poor airmansihp. Not bad rules or practices.

I've read a lot of this sort of post in this thread -- one bad pilot,
one lout who ruined it all for us, and so forth. Yet the AAIB report
was very explicit that everyone else at this comp was doing exactly
the same thing, and many others cleared the hedge and spectators by
only a few feet.

What exactly was the "poor airmanship" that so distinguished this
particular pilot? From reading the report, it seems 20 pilots played
Russian Roulette with the same gun; one hit the chamber with the
bullet. Well, he just showed poor gunmanship.

Firstly, I take it that the persons who taught you to fly Mr Law were not
'Nazis', or were they, because they insisted on you not killing yourself?

Secondly, it is fortunate for you that you are not a UK citizen otherwise
you would be helping the police with their enquiries. It is a CRIMINAL
offence to call anyone a 'Nazi' in the UK.

Please moderate your language on this forum. I'm surprised that the
moderator tolerates your input.

Firstly there is not such a thing as a moderator on this usenet
group.
Secondly I'm surely glad I'm not in the UK if calling some of the
"flakes" in the environmental movement Nazis would get me in trouble.
Now I'll admit using some words that conote color etc could get
you in trouble here.

Hello Alistair,

this is not a forum but a newsgroup. This is usenet. It's free and not
moderated. For good.

There is no such law in the UK (beyond the normal libel laws).
However, it does break Godwin's Law:

"As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison
involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one.
There is a tradition in many Usenet newsgroups that once such a
comparison is made, the thread is over, and whoever mentioned the
Nazis has automatically lost whatever argument was in progress."

Ah yes, what a great show... Obviously though, that episode was a mix
of both reality and selective focus. Alot of what you saw in there was
indeed real, but that doesn't mean that it's entirely representative
of an entire nation.

Hmm, I was so disappointed when I got to the UK after watching Monty
Python's Flying Circus.

I thought it would be just like the TV show...
