A passenger recently rushed up to me and accused me of flying him and 350 passengers in an aeroplane with a hole in the tail. He accused me of being unprofessional, illegal, and planned to phone his lawyer at the earliest opportunity.
He was totally correct. There was a hole in the tail.
It was the APU air intake.
Roll on retirement.

Good heavens I had no idea all this was going on. Some of us have to work you know, i can't be everywhere. To the poster who said I was a horrid little man, how dare you! I am a horrid big man, so there. To young spotters who are hurt or offended, I tender my apologies, but don't identify a specific flight and you won't have me snapping at your heels. This may be a spotters section, but it is part of a Professional Pilots Forum, and no professional wants his flight identified to his colleagues or Boss with explanations required as to was he really 'low flying over Birmingham heading a funny way?' Just common sense here is needed.

Have to agree with Rainboe... the CAA can be bad enough to pilots, I would think "wanna-be's" could be even worse 
Or the real bad types.. the ones who get the registration and bugger off, not even watching a single thing apart from their internet screen when they upload into some silly database...

Rainboe,
It is right that you said don't identify a crew or flight, I do respect you for that, but sometimes mate you give the industry a bad name with you rather sharp words. (particularly on this thread)
I wonder what your FD crew think when they are rostered to fly with you are they scared of you or really are you a big softy in real life? Anger can create undesired comments outside of your controlled website.
In these hard times the aviation industry needs pilot ambassadors/mentors, like yourself who has oodles of experience, but to let a 16 year old upset you so much on the spotter forum is a little bit rich, you first comment was right but the other ones you made were unnecessary.
I am sure that some airline management would agree with me too.
Footnote; To be fair to Rainbow he does say Warning "TOXIC"
