Petition running to allow Art Nalls to display his Sea Harrier in the UK

Damn, this is a tough one. If I sign we might get to see a fantastic old jet flying here, but on the other hand, if it doesn't get clearance just think how much that will annoy the Old Bearded Idiot. Ooh, I just don't know...

Nutty ... you might like to eMail the "Bearded One" ... as I'm sure he will be only too pleased to bombard the CAA with correspondence, power point, briefings, bar charts etc. in support

Below the Glidepath - not correcting
Sorry to be slightly pragmatic here but while the petition is a great way to establish the popularity of the idea, it's not the popularity of the aircraft or otherwise that is the barrier. The CAA has determined (rightly or wrongly, it matters not) there is a safety issue. Unless someone challenges that position with an informed conterpoint it's hard to see anything changing. There must be enough qualified people who can construct a robust safety case for flying the aircraft here or deconstruct the CAA's own case, maybe this is happening in the background (I hope it is) but popularity alone will not win any safety of flight arguments with the CAA.
