For information only
May I say firstly that the recent correspondence between Doug Robertson and has no aftermath as far as I am concerned.
He remains a valued member with a wealth of aviation knowledge and I hope he continues to contribute to the site by sharing this knowledge and his experiences with members long into the future.
I have been concentrating on the Light content of the database for some time. It really is at times like being in the long grass! There remains much to be done but I want to point out that I intend to work primarily correcting manufacturer, model and serial fields, these being in my view, the most important fields in the profiles. Other errors will be corrected when seen, and the rest of the profile content can be added/corrected later.
One other point.
I have recently deleted a number of airframe nicknames from the "Manage Airframe Nicknames".
You will be aware that where the nickname already exists in a profile, the addition of an entry of this nickname in the "Manage Airframe Nicknames" facility results in a duplication of the nickname in the profile.
Grandmother and eggs and all that, but if a few nicknames exist, better to delete them before the "Manage Airframe Nicknames" entry. If many nicknames already exist, better to add the rest individually.
Not being critical - could have been me!
Malcolm.
