Accusing me of being "reckless" is something that I do take exception to.
I can assue you that flying a Robin without a spinner is not in the least bit of a problem and will not put the aircraft in danger.
The glider tugs in question are checked by licenced engineers and I can only suppose that you consider these guys "reckless" as well !.
Flying robins without a spinner has been going on for to long for the authoritys to have not put a stop to it if any danger was involved however finding the paperwork on a ( French) bank holiday weekend is another thing entirly.
I wont do "reckless" in any way shape or form and certantly would not endanger an aircraft and I dont think that the other engineers who cover the glider tugs do either so I sugest that you keep your comments about acting recklesly to yourself.
