GW,

Complete rot. Why is anything that can be found freely on the internet considered a breach of privacy???

Why are you so reluctant to give us any background on yourself??? What is it you have to hide??? Why should we not concerned by someone who appears on our forum and immediately posts a message polling which aircraft would we like him to make... a lot of which are already in existance.

You can always PM me or any other member if you like but as a site administrator, I have a vested interest in who is here. It would be irresponsible of me to be otherwise.

Firstly I am aware of various attempts to track down my name, and other information. I will advise you all to abort these now, as I will not reveal it willingly, and if anyone releases said information it will be concidered a breach of privicy.

Secondly, I am NOT a child. I do NOT attend school. I am unaware of where you obtained said e-mail address.

Thirdly, and on a happier note I will be making the winner of this poll, and all my other aircraft in development.
It's common on our forum to not hide.

All you had to do is write Graham(or whatever your name really is)
at the end of each post.
Not hard but no you have to hide & complain that we did basic web searches to find out as much info as possible.

People that make such a big effort to hide are ,are usually upto no good.

If i turned up on you forum you would do exactly the same.
It's not what your doing, it's the way your doing it.

If you don't like our openness please go somehere where everyone lives in the shadows.

We have been attacked 3 times so far by other developers with your approach.

One of these attacks actually made one of our members very unhappy.

There is no need to hide as we share a lot of information here to those that need it.

Please do not flame me for this as i am not doing anything that is out of order.

Regards
Rick

I think it is a travesty to even consider our friend at GW Sim to be Graham Waterfield. Sri GW if you are looking in... and no, I don't mean you GWS!!

Hope that the forthcoming Bristol 170 ( who will do it is not important. paramount importance it is a very good one) will be a Mark 32.. :lol:

Personally I love the Rick Piper and John garwood works very very much and I wonder when a Canberra will be available at their high standard.

FOR RICK : excuse me but why you don't like to have opening doors , cargo doors working on your beautiful models?

Actually, I talked to the crew out there a couple of months ago, and that's all dirt, but the problem is Air Atlantique (who technically still owns it, but are in negotiations to sell it to the CAF) won't let the CAF park the plane in the main hangar. Air Atlantique is still considering parting out the airplane for their aircraft that's being restored, but the CAF wants to save it, and would put the needed money into restoring and re-painting the aircraft.

Also, remember that this plane was in 100% restored and flying condition as of 2001, so it's only been sitting for maybe 3 years, and even at that, until 2 years ago, it was hangared for most of that time after it was retired and purchased by a guy up in Minnesota. The plane's in a lot better shape than people let on and the photos show.

Hopefully the CAF will get the Shack and the B-36 that they're in negotiations for as well. They do take good care of their airplanes.

B-36? From whom? There are only four complete airframes. All are highly valued i would think. They aren't thinking of flying one, are they?

The old gate guard down in South Texas (I think it was a Dyess or Brooks) has been in the eye of the CAF for about 10 years. Last I heard, they'd finally been making some progress on getting it. And of course they want to fly it. That one or the SW Air Museum's bird (which is currently 80% restored to airworthy condition even though they don't plan on flying it). Apparently they think they can get one and get it flying again. It probably won't fly as much as 'FiFi' but with the resources the CAF seems to always find whenever they need a major funding source, if they can work out the details of the move and such, I'm sure they'll be able to do it.
