Scran - why don't you honour your offer of a few days ago to Dick, and let him have a chat to you on the 'phone ? I am sure he would love to talk to you and (as you say) you might be able to set him straight. (Or maybe the other way around). Once you have the chat, you can publish the results for all of us to see.
I care about what Dick says, because I am an aircraft owner and regularly fly through Willy.
By the way, to deride Dick as a "PPL" is pretty rough...he may not earn money from flying, but (I estimate) his 10,000 hours PIC (on numerous types) does allow him to voice an opinion surely ? (Even if a few of the regulars don't like it !).
Thanks
