LateArmLive - agreed....
For the serving man/woman, this forum can be a gold mine. I have perceived over the years a steady decline in my fellow serving members participating.....for many reasons, one being continually raised in crew rooms is
"It's full of old duffers banging on about how it was in xxxxxx"
It has indeed declined over the last few years. Those who might have become 'old duffers' have largely pulled the B&Y and buggered off to the airlines, so nowadays there's an increasing gulf between the "I tell you, young lad, the Vimy was a damn fine old kite" oldies and the "Another $hitty day in the sand pit" youngsters.
Plus with so few aircraft, so few aerodromes and so few people, there's perhaps less breadth of interest these days in any case?
But I do see ralphmalph's point; I started a thread asking what people thought about the new style of the RAF Club website, but it was immediately hijacked by the usual suspects. So I deleted it as it was probably just boring everyone...
