Thanks for nothing
The C-17 question I asked the day before yesterday has been deleted. Thanks for nothing you guys. You are a great help. It wasn't as if there were any bl00dy state secrets I was asking about.

Not much point moaning at us - we didn't kill it.
On the other hand, well done to the guy that did - since we don't have a mod. it could have been any one of them.
Anyway, how do you know that anyone on this board had the facts you wanted, even if he/she was prepared/allowed to divulge them?
You could so easily have been a journo/Al Q etc. on a fishing trip. If you need to know, then you'll have channels that will enable you to find out. If not, then tough

I don't know, thats why I was asking. And as I am aware that it may have been sensitive, I asked that whomever was in the know please PM or email me. Then they could have satisfied themselves that I am who I am and not a journo on a fishing trip. Rather than just delete it out of hand.

As I said, thanks. For nothing.

I am now hesitant to ask it again, in case for some reason it WAS sensitive and could disadvantage US (note : we're all in this together).
Suffice it to say, I asked if the C17 driver who landed at BGW at about 1400Z on Nov 15th please PM me.

africanskies - maybe its just none of your business, maybe it is sensitive. even if you are just interested joe public and not a bad guy it doesnt mean you are entitled to answers. we military types are often relying on sensitive info to keep our lives safe, satisfying peoples curiosity doesnt rate when compared to my pink body im afraid. good on you whoever deleted the post, perhaps this one should follow to make the point.

Try the Freedom Of Information Act.
Write to the MoD and ask the question.
When you get a reply post it on here.
When you don’t get a reply then you know it is operationally sensitive.

I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could
You WILL get a reply. If you expect a name then the Data Protection Act will kick in.
While you will get a reply you will not therefore necessarily get an answer. You can file your question by email or fax and it will still be valid provided you declare your name and address.
If your question might need amplification a telephone number would be useful too.

African Skies - I cannot really see a problem with the post. It's was posted well after the event and I guess anyone on the ground sufficiently interested would have seen the C-17.
It's up to the driver if he replies or not .
