& if this sorry tale is in fact a bunch of lies as you are implying
I'm not implying anything.
I'm just saying two things:
1. Popham's radio has never historically been considered as offensive.
2. The OP has stated (publicly, (and rather curiously) before taking it up with the airfield) what appears to be rather embellished and incorrect facts about his experience, based on a series of well presented facts I have received in an email.
As I have said, if anybody has issue with anything the OP has alleged, they are perfectly welcome to email Popham.
I have no connection with the airfield other than being a loyal member.
