Most of the replies to this thread have indicated an interest in actual aircraft and flying. Spotters who I have shown round our glider fleet didn't seem to care remotely what the reg was painted on as long as they saw the letters.
Am I missing something? They're welcome to see the registrations (if they ask politely) but I've been willing to tell them the glider type, its history, tell them how gliding works (ok I'm a fanatic too) but they seemed completely uninterested.
Each to his own, but could anyone enlighten me?
