Ian/formationfoto: Wasn't trying to lure you, and I don't doubt the present 'Pilot' team's commitment to aviation. But you do have a serious problem with accuracy — and thus credibility — which has nothing to do with commitment, piloting ability or aircraft ownership. It has to do with the lack of the broad range and depth of knowledge and experience of both aviation and aviation journalism possessed by James Gilbert and the editorial team he assembled. As an experienced media man yourself you will know that anything that appears in print is likely to be taken as gospel by those who know no better. And why should they? — it's reasonable for them to assume that those who write for magazines as editors either know what they're on about or have taken the trouble to check. In trying to maintain 'Pilot's' previous high standards and opposing the 'dumbing-down' which they seemed to favour, we now-departed 'old guard' tried to explain this to your management colleagues on numerous occasions. Who was right? Who was wrong? Only time will tell. Good to know you're on the case, though — 'Pilot' deserves better.
