I agree that this forum should remain open, we've had a wide variety of inputs from many backgrounds.

HOWEVER, could we have an additional forum for real military aircrew only and put us on a par with the airline types. Not sure how they police their forums.

Not sure how they police they're forums.
They have to give the big four to the moderator, eg:

For current and recently-retired Virgin Atlantic employees. To apply for access to the Virgin forum, please send your name, staff number, base and Pprune Username to
Guess the mod for the serving Mil Aircrew only forum would be driven in one of these:

let's close the forum

No no, let's have a real mil forum

then an Ex-mil forum

Then a walter mitty pretend Mil forum for those who like the big watches and the cashet but can't actually be arsed to do it for real.

(wasn't there a Milkman from Norwich that claimed to be the staish at Wittering in order to chat up totty, meanwhile totty was Staish's daughter? Oops)

Bugger it leave it as it is, if you can't tell who's in/out journo or faker then shame on you.

I think it makes it a slightly more interesting forum and I always enjoy seeing bull$hitters being rumbled.

I'm an ex mil aviator, now a civvy... this forum is a good way to keep up to date and in touch. If you can't stand the heat or if you are too thin skinned/sensitive to take/respond to criticism, you are in the wrong job!

This forum is a good way for wannabes to get an insight, warts and all to the services, and although I agree that some posts or threads are pants, the majority are good.

a_a - the MoD Mod wouldn't be driving one of those because:

1. The alloys are too expensive. MoD version would have simple pressed steel wheels.

2. Too much chrome. MoD version would be de-chromed.

3. MoD version would have dark windows....

Like that one outside my wind.....

Don't forget, BEags, that the MoD would pay extra to have the alloys, chrome and decent stereo removed (maybe even the aircon if fitted by the factory!).

It's ex MoD though - for sale at witham-sv.com, who handle most ex MoD vehicle sales. Details here

Maybe it was for a ****, so he got to choose the allys.

Last time I dropped in to a large thread here Jacko and Danny were going at it. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
