Won't you people let this topic die??
Everyone comes into it, reads my initial hasty remarks, then disagrees but they havent read my latest replies which go back on a lot of it.
Spoon I would generally be more in favour of less intervention than more intervention from the CAA in private flying as the risk is small anyway and the consequences, if there are any will usually effect the individual: crashing in a field, its not like its a 747 crashing in some city centre.
I didnt know there was anything wrong with the RAF now, apart from their lack of flying, is there?
Anyway, lets all let this topic die gracefully, starting now.
