I'm not saying ban the radios but I am suggesting a more sensible and realistic usage of the same. By watching the websites I know when BOnes, B2's and U2's etc will arrive at Fairford so yes any terrorist can assimilate any kind of sensitive info from these people who are just showing off to their " virtual " mates!. As for Airforce One. agreed but why should they have to use them?.

Policing the airways thats a laugh in its self .

1 The movements of our royal family and i suspect government officals
with there destinations is published Daily in newspapers and on line
And news bullitins carry there arrival and departure often live with
destination safe is that ?

2 i watched AIRFORCE 1 Depart LIVE on www on american TV Who
gave out it destination and arrival times Your average thicko could
work the route i expect.

3 TV Licencing in uk They cannot catch all the licience dodgers
they get a few so how then UNLICIENCED radios ?

4 policing the Airways pirate stations exist still today on FM
HAM Radio has its own share of Squekees music players etc.
they catch a few .

5 CB Radio is now legal in UK No licience .when it first came out it
was on AM Thousands of US Made sets came in openly sold eventully
we got a LEGAL Service they tried to catch people Very few were
caught .
So you start confiscating AIRBAND Radios well you can try but it isnt
going to work or the staff to do it .what would it gain are you saying
the airband user is responsible for terrrorist actions research and the
like I am pretty sure that those people are more likely to avoid that
sort of thing altogether to avoid suspicion but of course its all our fault

6 Get better and more Intelligence is the answer not excuses terrorists
will always try to find a way . stopping your average plane spotter and
other hobbyists is not the answer JUST ANOTHER EXCUSE

I am an RJ85/ 100 Captain.

If I should be so deranged as to want a picture of a plane landing at LCY and a cop tells me 'no!', I shall tell him to f@ck off. (although, no doubt, I'll be more restrained in my use of language)

I suggest you do the same.

They are our servants, not the other way 'round.

BarbiesBoyFriend. You didn't used to fly for BOAC by any chance?

There are some things which are legal and others which are not. Taking a piccy at LCY does not, so far as I am aware, break the law. Various other activities do break the law and you would be well-advised NOT to tell a police officer where to go if there is a chance that you have done so...

Don't forget - when the police officer flies on holiday you and your colleagues are his servant! I have never looked upon any human being as my "servant". We're all equal in my book and each and every one is probably doing his/her best to feed his family. Best to remember that, eh??

I DO remember it.

The question is, do they?

I've heard first hand of fellow workers' family being told to delete perfectly legally taken pix at LCY.

Like I say, if asked to delete my pix, there will come the answer, 'No'.

I guess we'll take it from there.
