Yeah the official report that will be a fat help, news flash we don't get one!!

And IF Ross could wish for one thing out of this tragic accident, it would be to see a full report.

Ross and I discussed reports (or lack of) many times.

 

RIP Ross....

There's plenty if such examples of ignorance. It an inquiry involving motorcycles it was stated that they would be safer if they didn't lean over on corners.A judge in a matter concerning the DH Drover, in a great display of genius said.

Er.... this Aircraft has three engines does it not?

 

Yes your honour.

 

Which side does it have two engines on? ,,,,,,? Nev

Great idea Bull, now please know one post any theorys of the accident or negative views of Ross, this is a memorial thread and not a thread of debate.

If there is one person who knew what he was doing (or at) in the environment we are in it would have to be Ross. Regardless of how he presented himself(Qualifications which he had etc ) he was an actively involved person, not just a commentator. Careful with repairs and maintenance and contributing with organisational requirements active flying and on the board for all you people working in the organisation for all of us. I will always support those who get involved with the RAAus. with all its faults and shortcomings it's ours,and they work for nothing for the advancement of RAAus I give Ross a high score in this area in the last few years .

Amsol,

 

I have never seen anyone a ignorant and blatantly disrespectful as you. Your comments either mean three things.

 

1. You work for CASA.

 

2. You have a real dull life

 

3. You play a flight Sim to much.

 

I'm finding that ignore button to.

Aw, come on folks you don't need a button to ignore people. If they are that terrible just pass their comment by, BUT you might just miss something unexpected, like a blast of wisdom, or an apology. The ignore button serves no purpose except to inform someone that you are going to "ignore" them as some kind of retribution. You are so bad that I'm going to do this to you, because I think you have insulted me somehow with what you have posted.. I am therefore going to subject you to the ultimate humiliation of setting it up for you to be ignored by me. Isn't that the supreme put down (insult) for a suppose insult. Aren't we being a little precious? Nev.

I agree Nev.

 

FT is a perfect example, he posts a lot of (IMO)nonsense that has me shake my head BUT occasionally he will post something quite interesting and I wouldn't want to miss those little goodies. (Don't mean to offend you FT, it is just how I see it and as we all know we all have our own biases!)

 

Surely most of us can ignore someone if they are posting useless stuff without using a button!

Can we just put all this behind us and move on as we are all starting to drag it out, lets let bigons be bigons and focus on remembering Ross as a fellow aviator and contributor to this site and not someone who "may or may not have made an error in judgement".

 

I am sure all of us have made a mistake during our aviation career, I certainly have, just think if this was you, I am sure you would not like this stuff to be said about you.
