To the Flintstones
Dear, dear, dear, How sad to see. I come down of my painting ladder (just the ordinary works, not the Michelangelo style) and again I find the whole bunch of “shhhh, shhhh… give us only good news” types looking for my dead body. I only said that ownership of G-MKLA, according to the UK CAA, was no longer at MK’s (that’s all). And I just suggested, in line with the title of his thread, that this transfer of ownership seems logical, that getting rid of the KLA might be sensible as it is the only AC with RR engines. I could be wrong of course, for ex. why did MK acquire it in the first place? Technical or financial reasons? Have a guess.
Was my previous post a possible start of a “bad quality” new rumours? Maybe. I agree there are rumours and rumours, and the quality is different. One has reasonable rumours, strategic rumours, rumours starters, well informed (how do we know?) rumours, etc. etc. Well… I like them all. Specially EXUP’s last one, I quote: “Yes I do know the story on LA & its not straight forward…etc.” . I certainly wouldn’t like to chase him of the forum, or have him shut up. Our fathers fought against fascism decades ago! Freedom of speech, open debate, etc. is the most valuable thing we have. EXUP’s literature is great fun, surely nobody wants to go back to the book burning ages in Europe!? Therefore to the young fellow posters I’d like to say: bring some arguments in, leave the emotions for the ladies pages and the cover-up exercises of the pedo-part in Catholic and other Churches. Flintstones of the world, shoot at me with arguments, and don’t try to strike me, but my arguments, with bat! Should be easy if my quality is low.
BTW: I see the movie “the belly of the beast” has been removed from you tube!? Did CAA step in? MK’s operational procedures culture was not ‘good’ in the past to say the least, sticking objects to a nose gear doesn’t improve it. If anything gives MK a bad image, it’s MK itself! More frequent, more open and better communications would help them a lot. There latest website news is nearly a year old, difficulties are not communicated, and more important wages are not paid, good explanations are needed! So it’s there fault and no mine if there is plenty of room for whatever rumours!
Again, has everybody been paid now? Can we close this thread? It’s very quiet if I am not around.
