Worst aviation website
Which is the worst aviation related website you use?
My vote would have to be the Balpa website,as to describe it as a poor 1990s vintage bulletin board would be overstating it and I have to pay a considerable amount of my salary to be a member!!

Well, someone had to say it.
Seriously though, on a bad day it can be really slow.
Plus the "quick fix" anti-spam solutions they have put in place are somewhat frustrating (the login "enter characters on this picture" thing etc.).
However, I've used worse.... so it's not number one !

Psychophysiological entity
This is pretty good, but I often use the same software on other forums, and they host pictures. It's so quick, and A picture can be worth a thousand words, as they say. I would make good use of that if they hosted.
One forum, the Mods turn the pix into thumbnails, these are displayed in a box with descriptive text. I don't know how much work would be involved doing this, but I guess on a forum this size, it would be too much.

EASA - Exercise in Awful
I'll second that vote for the EASA website. In comparison, the FAA one, which has much more on it, is a model of clarity.

My contender for worst...
A so-called "Aviation Archaeology" website, called Peak Wreckhunters...
Very poorly researched (i.e. research is non-existent).
If you enjoy reading offensive, repetitive, misinformed rants, this is for you...
And three of the best:
If Aviation Archaeology is of interest, these excellent sites may be of interest:
Peak District Air Accident Research
Dave Earl's Wrecks
Lancashire Aircraft Investigation Team
Oh, and finally, my humble effort.
