Mr Newby seens to be telling everyone that the list is only two names long! (and
as I thought, just sending a stock reply - the words are almost exactly the
same as I received).
One way to prove to him (and maybe used as a fact at the AGM) would be to
generate
an 'E-petition' on the club site
We each log in, and simply leave our name, PFA membership number and a few words
simply stating that we don't wish a magazine that is supposed to be published
for the enjoyment of its members to use KWs pictures in the future.
I've no idea how to set this E-petition up but I'm sure that one or some of the
computer whizzos who operate the club site could do so quite quickly

Here is my effort.

Dear Graham,
I would like to increase your list by one.
I find that your response below is unsatifactory, if not insulting. The
PFA is about its members, and their opinions matter. The magazine is
incidental to the argument. There are no doubt many good photographers out
there who could, and do, contribute to it. I do not believe anyone would
miss Wilson's contribution (if that's what it is)nor do I believe the
magazine would suffer without it.
This industry is populated almost entirely by honest and trustworthy
people, and I for one would like to keep it that way. The PFA as our
representative body should be taking a lead in this and doing everything
in its power to exclude the likes of Wilson from it.
Please take note.
Regards
Paul Atkinson

Firstly may I say that the " list " is 2 people.
I must commiserate with anybody who lost money or goods through the
collapse
of Europa, and may I say that apart from the not inconsiderable time we,
the
PFA, spent discussing the airworthiness issues with the CAA and the
processes we put in place before Europa was rejuvinated, we also lost some
$B!r(B1000 in advertising revenue that was unpaid.
Having said all this, the collapse of Europa was a commercial business
issue. Keith Wilson has for many years supplied excellent photographs for
the magazine, and all at no cost to the Association. In fact Popular Flying
would have been a much worse publication over the years without Keiths
input.
I hope this satisfies your request.
Best regards
Graham Newby
Chief Executive
Popular Flying Association
