Dudley ...

I read it just fine the first time around. What is your issue
exactly?

Dudley Although I posted this in an obvious negative context, it
Dudley isn't really supposed to illicit feelings that favor my
Dudley position per se. Actually, as far as these groups are
Dudley concerned, my position isn't all that relevant anyway. You
Dudley would have to be a member of the race or airshow community
Dudley to fully appreciate the impact of what the photographer
Dudley has said here. His statement has to be viewed in contrast
Dudley to his prior stated views that explained his reasons for
Dudley engaging in crash photography. I expect no particular
Dudley favorable or unfavorable responses to my posting his words
Dudley here. Some will agree there is a problem with this guy and
Dudley some like yourself will see no problem at all with what he
Dudley has said here. It's simply put out here in the "food for
Dudley thought" department, and perhaps to allow those of you who
Dudley are not in our community to see why we don't particularly
Dudley like this kind of thing. Nothing more..nothing less, and
Dudley surely nothing expected in the way of positive return from
Dudley those of you outside our community. Dudley Henriques

I hope there is no silly fued brewing (I can't make head or tail of
this discussion or lack thereof). As far as I'm concerned, people are
interested in aviation for different reasons - here are a bunch or
people interested in military aviation which is basically about
killing people and destroying things for the good of .... what? (It
depends on your beliefs I suppose) For someone to be interested in
crashes is really a minor issue I think. As far as I can assess,
Mr. Bogels is a fine photographer who travels around the world meeting
and interacting with other aviation photographers and airshow buffs,
and makes his photos available on an excellent website (he also offers
a wonderful photodeveloping service for buffs that really makes the
hobby cheaper).

As for Dudley, from previous posts I have seen great stuff on topics I
know nothing about, giving me great insight into flying and what
drives people to it (I don't have a flying licence). That you two do
not agree on something that for some reason or other you feel strongly
about should not make a dent in the wonderful resource that is this
newsgroup.

Let's not get into a firefight about this.

Best regards, Gernot
