Since you ask Mike, in my view you are the certain individual who has caused the most damage to the South West section of the forum by driving members away. In my view you are in breach of Rule 4 of the forum. Congratulations on thanking 2e1var for his infrequent post to the South West. One thing pu...

Well said Dave and thank you EGCC for pointing out where you think we should be posting suggestions. Since as stated they are looking to make changes, I looked in vain for an admin lead thread with their suggestions and an invitation for discussion. I can't find that. For a start there needs to be p...

In this thread a reference was made to a thread from 2013 which made suggestions to admin for a separate section for St Mawgan/Newquay: http://www.fightercontrol.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=110515 i stated that no reply had been forthcoming from admin in the 2013 thread. Two of the admin chose ...

Well said Bobbster.

And there is no reply from admin for that earlier thread.

I was going to refer you to some earlier threads where I set out quite clearly where the problem lay as far as I was concerned. Those threads have been removed. It is very sad that it wasn't possible to make a constructive comment without it being censored.

There are two Apaches operating out of Culdrose this week. They are out and about when you heard them so it was probably them.

I was walking on Penhale Sands north of Perranporth just after 17:50 and a wokka was flying quite high tracking down the coast towards St Ives, I heard, I presume the same one, coming back just after 18:10. Which matches my log times at Newquay of 17:49 and 18:15.

Has the displays on that day as Lanc, Hurri, Spit at Guernsey and Jersey Air shows. Could well be those a/c enroute to the Channel Islands.

XW204 departed about an hour later, with all engine covers open on XW219 and engineer talking on the phone.

XW219 was on the ground when I got to CAF and XW204 flew in to fix. Looked like an oil leak from the mopping up!

I am hoping to be around on the Wednesday either in the viewing area or some other vantage point. Sadly I have to be Wales on the Thursday. Depending on the SWMBO's plans I might even make a visit on the Tues too. Can't make departures as we are down to Dover for SWMBO's channel swim training, the a...

Welcome to the forum mrgijones1. Mike, I refer you to my post last month. http://www.fightercontrol.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=100066&p=628321#p628321 I really do not understand why you feel that, since your not a moderator, you persist in making such posts as your above in a section of the fo...

Welcome to the forum jam09. I believe the way the South West part of the forum is used seems to suit the majority of its users. Mike has an opinion that all OTT traffic should be posted in the OTT section. He lives in Inverness according to his profile but seems to get upset by the way those of us d...

She was mooching around Mounts Bay yesterday lunch time, but no significant activity that I could see.
