Plane Talking.
Ben Sandilands (RIP) left behind some pretty big boots to fill. His articles and reports were always read and respected; often controversial but always of interest to the wider aviation community.
Anthony Klan is an investigative journalist with some excellent 'aviation' related articles. Independent now and writing in 'the Klaxon'.This article – HERE – is well worth the short time it takes to read. Any independent, clear sighted, honest comment on 'matters aeronautical' is always a welcome change.
Perhaps the Sandilands mantle can be taken up, it would be a refreshing change to find some honesty and integrity in the media reports. The tale of the great Tamworth fiasco and the goings on behind the scenes should be a wake up call. Maybe even the minister can have it read out to him – seems his rose tinted glasses prevent clear sight of the mess aviation has descended into.
Toot - toot.
