I think the AOPA UK is a bit of a chicken and egg situation. They won't be effective without the membership, but then no one will join unless they become effective.. .. .It's a real shame because all aspects of UK aviation get a real shafting, and it should fall on someone like APOA to put up a stand against it. Clearly they are a failure IMHO in that respect. Time to ring the changes.. .. .PS . .. .ps, I take it from the lack of replies to my question as to what achievements they could be credited with is self explanatory.
