I am a member of the LAA which I regard as a superb organisation that does so much for light aircraft owners and pilots regardless of their race, sex or other characteristics. Although I am not generally in favour of U-turns I would have been open to persuasion by reasoned argument at the LAA AGM on TCT's rescinded award until I read the article in today's Times. In that article she is quoted as describing the LAA as "the old men's club of British light aviation" and then clearly goes on to describe it as a misogynistic organisation. Perhaps these comments were further "slips of the tongue" or misinterpretations by the journalist who interviewed her, but if not I do hope the proposer of the motion reported to be put before the LAA AGM will now withdraw it.
