Apart from A and C's comment above, can anybody else bring to my attention what exactly AOPA UK have done to their credit?. .. .I totaly agree that a united voice is needed, and my understanding is that AOPA US do a good job, but I remain to be convinced that the UK branch is up to much. Until I see more examples of this, my money stays in my pocket. Yes I know that does not help them, but rest assured if I thought that they where presenting a united voice on our behald, I'd be the first to join. . .. .PS
