tinnie me old, welcome back.
There's something I've been missing all these years that I've only just thunk out.
Most of the seriously good and therefore seriously expensive warbirds are owned by croppies or ex croppies.
Ergo croppies have made, are making a shovel full or two in aviation, which as you are well aware is against some several dozen laws, regulations, orders, CAAPs or the other.
Therefore the evidence suggests that the carefully crafted downhome 'n dusty, @rse hanging out of trousers characters, superbly maintained machines disguised as something out of an Alby Mangels spectacular being flown like they stole it
image has worked.
1. Regulators are too scared/intimidated to go near em
2. Tax man can't find anyone on staff who can outdrink em.
3. They dont have to carry SLF
3. We get to see fantastic gear and we all win.
