MrShoe,
You don't say if you actually got a response from Mr TP Editor - did you? I have found him to be very responsive & courteous to emails so I expect you did.
To add to your comments about flying with disability, my little brother came with me to the NEC show in November and he got an excellent response from the organisations he spoke to as well as follow up from Flyability which has prompted him to start down a not dissimilar track. As you say, it is about knocking down teh walls but I would add that the flying fraternity do seem to be very positive in encouragement in this area.
