Lady Buxton
Está servira para distraerle.
Hello there Gunship. A fine day to you.
It really is rather a shame when reports of rampant sexual proclivity have to be censored in the name of expedience.
I suppose it is nothing more than a reflection upon today's prurient and litigious society. But there we are. I probably expressed similar comments upon the publication in Japan of the first unexpurgated copy of 'Lady Chatterly's Lover.'
Somewhat of a rhetorical question under the circumstances but I do so wonder what you paint on the nose cone of a Cessna 172 to denote an aviator whom one has had in a non-combative sort of fashion; something sticky in oils perhaps, not wishwash paint?
May I suggest a little doodle of an internal combustion engine, the four cycles of which, will, naturally enough, be familiar to most on this forum.
I wonder, as an innocent bystander, where this thread goes from here?
tagdenmedro has had well more than his Shylockian pound, were that for which he wished in the first place. It is not beyond the bounds of sensible imagination to conclude that the woman has evidenceably been somewhat discredited, perhaps shown as an an imposter of the sort with which morality of a dubious nature oft walks hand in hand.
(Charlatans are more fun. They run around the streets screaming and yelling.)
Enough of this light hearted, persiflage, (not quite a hendiadys). I wonder, in a vacuous sort of way, what might happen now?
Let us wait and see. The silence of one who must now surely be known as aeroconn deafens by its former din.

buxton saga
Hello widebody, thank you for the gen, and although it looks like you have no intention to, I thank you for throwing fuel onto the fire! The reason being is that the B.A. / 737-800 issue came straight from the horse's mouth! This has been told to more than one person within her present working environment. Is it is great to fly around in this " S pecial A rea. And those of us who are here on the really long-term intend to maintain the integrity of this area. Having said that, there is no room for Buxton type people! I thank PPRUNE for the setup and although probably not intended , it is a method of working the bad OUT and hopefully be to the attention of those who could take action.

Yes, indeed, let us waite and see........ what!
The lady is now firmly entrenched in NW having called up previous debts. I suspect that even Vernon is powerless because during her tenure with CAA she appointed her puppet into a senior position which he certainly was not qualified for. They cunningly saw to it that a particular "bothersome" inspector was no longer responsible for the NW's oversight program.
The only other course of action is CAA via the Air Services Licencing Council. The lady's present position is what they call a "nominated position" and has to be approved by the Authorities.
Pprunes's library is full of the ills of CAA, need I say more.

The authorities position (C.A.A.) is that, the requirements to be nominated as a person responsible flight operations is, "have previous flying experience" typically this allows her or shall I say qualifys her as far as CAA goes. I would move along the lines, which I think has been established, that there is no, 1, South African 737 or any other medium, heavy jet rating, 2, no logbooks available, 3, largest aeroplane on British license B 200! 4, never worked for British Airways! /BAE may be. I think the back in the days when she was an air hostess for SAA she must have had this obsession about "Capt".
From what I can gather, all the above points were sold to Mr Bricknell by RW. Who else would promote Buxton?! I refer you to the bedtime story!

SG50. I would like to disagree with you on the CAA issue, under "normal" circumstances. If van der Veen is still at the council she might not get away with it.
How can she expect any respect from the pilots at NW who I am sure will all have read this thread by now. But then again judging by her track record, she probably does not care. Has a skin as thick as a rhino.
I cannot recall a respons from the "CAA Chief" on this thread regarding the lady as he was one of her victims as well.

This has indeed been a most fascinating thread which has attracted a degree of international interest and speculation. I strongly suspect and indeed, hope most fervently, that it has been followed with some thoroughness by the United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority amongst others. The audience to whom the evidence and opinions on these pages has been submitted is extensive and probably, by and large, professional.
It is certainly fairly obvious that some who have contributed to this topic have a considerable influence in high places and access to information which might be denied to lesser mortals.
It would appear that the South African Civil Aviation Authority is somewhat lacking in the capacities and capabilities of policing itself. I should have thought that the misalliance of young MI coupled with that of VB would raise the odd quizzical eyebrow or two in The Department of Transport, where, I hope these pages have received some attention. Perhaps someone should e mail a copy of this thread to both the Minister for Transport and the SA/CAA, for their edification and general amusement. I should have thought it could all make good newspaper copy as well.
I would expect that a great many people have read through the past few pages of the chequered path to power of La Buxton. Rather like Lady Sabine De Winter in The Three Musketeers, her rise has been spectacular. However, it might raise a smile or two were one to remember that Lady De Winter had her head chopped off by the headsman of France upon the orders of her ex husband, Athos, who incidentally was a most excellent and honourable man!
I think that La Buxton, Nationwide Airways, its management and the South African Civil Aviation Authority have made rather a laughing stock of themselves throughout the world of aviation, not just in South Africa.
Surely it behoves the SA/CAA to initiate an inquiry into this affair and, in the meantime, to place certain restrictions upon the operational management of La B's employers as might reasonably be necessary and expedient in order to ensure that those, who are after all, in positions of public trust cannot continue to excercise their present powers in the operation of public transport until it has been satisfactorily established that the qualifications and references which were used to obtain such appointments, are genuine.
If the South African CAA wishes to be regarded as something of an international jackass; it will do nothing. If however, it would prefer to be better recognised as a force for aviation in Southern Africa and thereby, by extension, the whole continent; it will act to put certain parts of its house in order.
As a government agency, the CAA has a degree of public responsibilty and accountancy. Its judgement in certain matters has been called into question and, in the minds of some, its lack of judgement has been proved conclusively. Government departments owe the public a certain duty of care and when this is called into question, usually, I admit, by means of matters raised in parliament or the press, they owe the great chattering crowd an explanation.
It would not be an unreasonable assumption to state that no government department would willingly waltz into the morass of a public inquiry. However at the very least, this one should act decisively to exculpate itself from the position of inept turpitude in which, at the very best, its lack of attention to internationally sourced evidence has placed it.

Is this the same woman who was rescued by RN Helicopter during the Falklands war when she was shacked up with another female when making some wildlife films for Anglia TV's "Survival" series?

Not so loud. They'll hear you.
That would be Lucinda, known as Cindy, her sister, I believe.
Annie Price was the other?

Well, chaps, must admit I had quite a lag about the saga at Noddy Wind with the Hon Ms Bxt... Sorry for only geting into it now, but news takes a looooooooong while to spread into Bujumbura...
Vat so Katvis is all I can say, well done chaps, this should have seen the light 5 years earlier and maybe, just maybe saved one hell of a lot of frustration for FTC clients. Any way to get this into the Sunday Times?
