Agatha - Nice nick! I am very glad to hear that. Could you also re-link all the Luftwaffe pages missing under their header page too, as the map links don't work on the new site? And get rid of all...

Battle of Britain History - but not as we know it.....

Several months ago the RAF PR in MoD began moving the excellent content of the old history section into the new and largely unusable format.

In an amazing inability to simply cut and paste, the...

Magazines you mean?

Hot Charlie,

The RAF Magazine was an interesting case in point. Titane publishing was the partner, under Jervis's direction. The RAF were supporting its production on a sliding scale, as the...

Lie after lie after lie....

1 Wing Commander Rick ("Gobi") Wakeman told the BBC Scotland news website: "We wanted to tell a story and put into context the RAF's operational capability alongside a big film."

Only now asking for volunteers? Where is Jervis?

I am stunned by that circular e-mail. I had no idea so little work had been done prior to the show!

This beggars a question for Turner/Wakeman/Jervis. Since this show was advertised as star...

Supposition valid, its the show thats not!

Pontius,

I feel your supposition about the time and place of SoA is correct, but had little bearing on its failure.

My read of the crowd reaction was disappointment with the content, the...

One last note.

And by the way Britalex, it was not the weather that ruined SofA, Southend airshow went ahead with a full flying display on both Sunday and Monday, including a full flat show by the Reds both days. ...

Angry 10,000? Wtf?

Where has this figure of 10,000 come from? I was there! 1,200 to 1,600 at an absolute maximum!

Even a member of staff admited to me that less then 4,000 tickets in toto had been sold, both in...

How unsurprising

It seems sadly that there is no honour left in these people. Spin, spin, spin in order to keep spending taxpayers money on worthless ideas and save their own careers.

Is this a facet of modern...

Right idea?

Sirsalty,

While I agree it was brave to try something different, I am afraid I must disagree that Turner is unaccountable for the fisaco. Since Jervis had already failed the RAF previously on...

Cancellation due to weather may mean they recover some of the miss-spent public money in insurance cover, if they had any. The shame of it is...

Just a few observations on a complete shambles.

Surprised....? No.

Since the drive in the RAF is to de-skill any given post, this latest lunacy is perfectly in keeping with policy.

Incompetence and short term thinking mis-management will always find a level...
