I would like to express my appreciation of the stalwarts (ca 500 daily) who still hit on: "Gaining an R.A.F. Pilot's Brevet in WWII" Thread (although it is currently languishing on Page 4 of "Military Aviation" Forum).
For many years it was the star of "Military Aviation" and the preceding "Military Aircrew" Forums, and even now has chalked up the greatest number of Posts (12,000 +) and "Hits" (3,000,000 +) of any other Thread on the Forum (if you exclude "CapCom", clearly a special case as by its very nature it will attract an enormous number of Posts and Hits).
I know that all that lives must die; but you must admit that it has been "an unconciable time a-dying" ! And it would be churlish not to acknowledge the latitude always shown to it by our Moderators, which has so contributed to its success over the years. Let's raise a valedictory glass to it, and also to Clifford Leach [RIP] - ("cliffnemo") who started it just over ten years ago.
Danny.
