I may not have voiced my opinion in quite the way that Brad did..but I can certainly echo his sentiments after reading your initial post. Brad asked the questions that immediately jumped to my mind...has Peter ever landed a taildragger in a strong x-wind, has he ever taxied a multi engine taildragger in a x-wind, etc..
You were essentially denigrating the piloting skills of the Lancaster pilots...something you certainly shouldn't do especially since you haven't been in their shoes, even in a light airplane. By your own admission you aren't a pilot, so I have a hard time understanding why you felt like you should use this public forum to critique another's flying skills.
I believe (and have been told by a few) that one of the reasons that so few warbird pilots actually post to this site is because of some of the comments simliar to those you posted that have appeared in the past. That is a real shame because the owners and operators would have a lot to contribute to this site.
