Do away with this forum...., what a sad day that would be. I have watched this forum develop over the last few years, and while there are clearly good, and not so good points with all forums of this nature, I believe that in general, this particular forum draws many excellent contributions from both past and present military pilots and military ground personnel world-wide...., and not only from the Royal Air Force. In addition, there are many civilian pilots, (and others, perhaps not so welcome seekers of information), that are entertained by the banter that passes between different branches and different Services.
I say retain the forum as is. There is sufficient policing available as was aptly demonstrated by the suspension of the 'Scottish Officer' string last month.
With the inclusion of both flying and non-flying contributions, the forum offers an interesting diversity of views and is in general, quite informative and entertaining. In addition, it has a serious and necessary side, (as with the on-going Chinook string), as it gives us all (aircrew and non-aircrew alike), an opportunity to redress the balance of the voice of the 'military' as practiced by Government..., by allowing the voice of the 'military' as practiced by the people...., to be heard.
