Words fail me.
Although I admit my previous comments to WWW may have appeared to be in the "I'm harder than you" vein, they were intended to jovially point out that every aircraft type/role has it's shortcomings.
Subsequent comments serve to show that there are sadly those who STILL think the "When I were a lad...." argument is sufficient to off-set serious shortcomings in teh whole way we do business when we go camping. If we applied the same argument to our aircraft surely we'd be flying Spitfires,Dakotas, Sunderlands and Belvederes, which actually has a quirky appeal all of it's own, but assumes the same attitude to improvement of our little lot, that attitude being "If it was good enough yesterday, it must be good enough today" and finally to all those who simply plunge their oh-so-noble heads in the sand (no pun intended) and say "Stop bleating and get on with it"....I hope your tree lights fail on Christmas morning.
