The BAEC and this forum is open to all.......thankfully the majority of members on this forum recognise that fact.

I used to fly a lot now I don't.....I probably will again sometime in the future when circumstances allow. Am I not allowed a say on this forum until I do....some seem to think not it would seem.

I would hazard a guess that most people here will have spells in their life when flying is not a major part of their lifestyle. A change of employment, getting married, buying a house, a health issue, etc will see to that I'm sure. I'd hope that such members will still be made to feel welcome enough to post on this fine forum rather than pointed out as being somewhat inferior.
