CG - I know what you mean and in abstract terms you are totally correct. What a waste of time. But the reason this thread continues to have a life is because we care. We care about the truth, we care about aviation and we care about the people in aviation. TC-T is using aviation to further her own agenda. She has allowed miss-information, weasley words and gross exaggeration to "big up" what is basically a fly-on-the-wall TV programme. But in the process, she has not done flying any favours. Man has spent years trying to make flying safer. And this stupid woman brags about flying at 50 feet (aka scud running), ignoring local rules and procedures, flying through flocks of birds and otherwise endangering herself and in certain instances, those on the ground. This is not how anybody should fly. Then this braggard had the gall to let us and the world believe it was solo - until of course...
If Philip Green was involved with flying and did something similar, we would be on his case as well. But this is a flying forum and not a pensions or corporate legal forum. If such things existed I would hope that there would be an even greater interest shown. There are tens of thousands and people worrying about what they will do for a pension and asking how he got a knighthood.
But the similarity is that both of these people have not been totally open and transparent with their past activities. Yet at the same time they have led us to believe they were better than they actually were, picking up awards in the process. We can't put the world right, but we can look after our own little bit. The bit that puts our dinners on the table, the bit that provides pleasure to many and the bit that portrays aviation to the rest of the UK and the world.

Reason: "but" changed to "bit"
