Light Aircraft Association

So, no answers to actual questions then?

Hi Dominic.

I have no problem whatsoever in deleting that (done). Given the overwhelming response from members I doubt that my friend’s comments will make a great deal of difference. What he had to say has been echoed several times over.

Let’s lighten the mood by dressing up.

The award committee I am sure awarded the trophy in good faith with the information provided at the time so no slight on them. With all the shenanigans that were eventually uncovered it was correct rescinding the award as to be honest she met very few if any of the criteria for its award! My apolog...

Are TCT's "crimes" of essentially blowing her own trumpet a bit too much at times, enough to keep the award removed? ..........She has apologised (albeit - not particularly fully or contritely publicly) for not always acknowledging her team and not checking her website & promotional material.

Paul, in an earlier post you seem to think there won't be a proxy vote, and I see somebody on Pprune is under the same impression. The Proxy form is available on the AGM page and will also be on the reverse of the address sheet that comes with the magazine in a day or two. Evening Brian I was about...

Brian. Thank you for the clarification. It is at odds with Miss Curtis-Taylor’s version of events but perhaps that is what is what the membership and Board needed to see. I can only imagine the aggravation and stress you have experienced over the last two years in dealing with this, for what it’s wo...

I just received the following from an LAA member who has asked me to post for them as they are having IT trouble and wishes to remain anonymous on this forum.

My reflection after reading through is this:

(Quote removed but basically it said the same as many other members have posted since. PC

EDITED. I have read the proposal and all statements and frankly I am appalled that anyone thinks they go any way toward explaining away what has happened here. The word ‘solo’ was used in just about every media report with no attempt made to correct it, awards were accepted on that basis, the claim ...

Excellent, at last we have a first hand response. I hope you (Miss Curtis-Taylor) are here to continue the discourse with your fellow LAA members. For now I have only two comments on your post above. Am I angry? No, life’s too short for that but I do have a sense of what’s right. Secondly, “...mysog...

Ah, but then sole owners like me would have to pay more to supplement your group. So I’m happy with the way it is.

Brian, it really was not my intention to slur our members whose genuine efforts are rewarded. As Alan says it was tongue in cheek, I promise to make better use of the smilies in future to convey my intent.

Brian, I had hoped it was obvious what I was referring to but in case it needs saying I wasn’t talking about the members you describe.

I even know one of them and he’s not as odd as he looks.

You carry it off so much better, especially with your Jimmy Choo’s.

Thing is Chris, I’ve had an epiphany. Those who go chasing shinies and gewgaws are the sort of people with whom we do not wish to associate. They can have their clique or claque and I wouldn’t be one of them for quids. I actually don’t care now which way the vote goes. Because...... There are aviato...
