Because if the FP staff are reading the FP forum, to judge what it is the punters want, then with some notable exceptions, David B, Tony, Moggy, Keithmac etc, then they haven't got a clue.


: David,
:
: I know that FP cannot be expected to go out into the field
: s and start recovering aircraft bits and pieces. All I am
: saying is that what they started when they launched FP, th
: ey abandoned a long time ago. As you know there is a great
: interest in the aviation archaeology but nothing of that
: is published in FP in the same fashion they did in the eig
: hties. There are so many activities going at the moment of
: which the editorial staff of FP must know but are not pub
: lishing it. Why is that? I read the thread on the FP forum
: about the dumpsites at airfields etc and it turned into a
: heated debate with many people also wondering why those p
: aging were discarded.
:
: If the staff of FP only read forums like this they would k
: now and could fill several pages with interesting newsitem
: s people really would want to read. Personally I am one of
: those who started in this kind of work through Flypast in
: the early eighties, and there must be even more.
:
: There is so much more going on today that people would lik
: e to read. It should be what the public would like to read
: not what the editor would want to, correct me if I am wro
: ng.
