Genuinely curious as an outsider so no flak please.
Iīve never seen anyone on here get at Ward on grounds of his flying skill nor his bravery in the FI War. itīs his mono-maniacal belief (which seems to get worse with age) that
a) only the FAA were there,
b) everyone else is an idiot at best and a danger to The Nation at worst
There's no balance, no discussion, no...........
