And what exactly is my attitude that the warbird world could do without ?

Is it the attitude that won't allow me to be bullshitted to by warbird owners or whoever is defending their dodgy practices ?

Frankly the warbird world could do without the attitude of some warbird owners/restorers that allows history to be twisted for financial benefit, some of them are no better than your average second-hand car salesman, and while it continues I will continue to say what I like about it, one day some of them are probably going to end up in court for dodgy practices and I'll be laughing my bloody head off.

I'm not the only one who is looking into the history of John Paul's A36, there's plenty of people out here in enthusiast land who are wondering about it.
The only contact I have had with John Paul is through the old Vintage Aviator forum, where we had a nice old argument, all good clean stuff according to what another warbird owner told me, but Mr Paul eventually found that his argument didn't have a leg to stand on so he stopped posting, if that was actually his son then that's the first I know of it as he seemed to be making out that HE was the owner.
I have no idea why the owner will not give out any information but do you really think little old me is big enough to frighten off a wealthy warbird owner, I always thought they had bigger balls than that, after all you don't get wealthy by being scared of the little people like me.
You might not mind being fed bullshit Brad but I DO, and so do many more people like me, including Mr Warbird himself I should think.
Most of us are the Silent Majority in this historic aviation world but we won't stay silent just because you don't like what we have to say BRAD,it just so happens that I am not scared of saying what I think to anyone, whoever they are, talking to someone with big money does not make me go all trembly at the knees like some people, but if you can't stand the heat.......................
