It should be an interesting debate though I cannot match the proven rhetoric of Flying Lawyer whose brilliant style as a barrister few can attempt to challenge; especially in matters aeronautical.
At the present time General Aviation and Historic Aviation is threatened by rather more important matters in the shape of the Single European Sky charging scheme, the proposed requirements for ANSP's within the EU, the arrangements for certification and maintenance of aircraft through EASA, the involvement of EASA in operational and licensing matters and the imposition of mandatory insurance requirements on all EU aircraft from next spring.
My spare time, and in the opinion of she who must be obeyed all of my time, is presently spent trying to tackle these matters that threaten all of us whose passion is private, sporting and recreational aviation in all its facets.
Cheers,
