So the aforementioned 'chap' is staying well clear then? That would be the only explanation for a change in atmosphere. As someone who went out of their way to help him on several occasions including giving weeks of free labour to assist in rebuilding a Cub (which
he crashed by the way) and having witnessed him being unpleasant on many occasions, very unpleasant on several and extremely so once I'll cut him no slack whatsoever. His employees and the airfield itself are another matter, I bear them no ill will, but for as long as my patronage might benefit him I'll be staying away.
I'm also sorry if some were offended by the term I used to describe him but frankly I'm bemused as to how anyone might find it insulting. I've worked among many of the faith who found it amusing and indeed the whole film from whence it came. (Don't recall any of them mentioning WW2 though). Perhaps some of us need to get out more
