You are right. Andy had every right to talk openly about Jabiru alternatives
and in fact it was the most factual overview on any subject for a long time.
One or two complained. That's their right too.
The political outbursts were in the most party light hearted (well mine was
meant to be) and coincided with the annual Conference of each of our
Political parties.
Tongue in cheek.......
Concorde is an aircraft, Politics affects our ability to own or operate an
Aircraft, especially in Europe and most people here and about have taken
advantage of the enlightened costs of components in the USA and returned
them back here unseen via Atlantic flights.
On a more serious note. Many of your trends in the USA arrive here in UK
about 5 to 10 years later, Good or bad. The one that hasn't is the more open
attitude towards Homebuilt Aircraft building. Add to that a real threat from
Euro-Control that will make flying even more expensive through navigation
charges and Mode S TPx and politics does have a place here sometimes on the
forum.
In an effort to stay on the Forum ........ EUROPA. Nice Aircraft!
