Missing Letters in Feb 2007 Skydive Mag
So, flicking through the Feb 2007 issue of Skydive Mag, which turned up
this afternoon, I see that page 53 features a short editorial note from Les Gale explaining that the council had decided not to publish. The only reasonable course of action, thus, is to get hold of them somewhere else. Does anyone out there know what they were about? Ideally, can anyone provide those letters? M. |

It would appear that some BPA members took umbrage at the alleged behaviour of a very senior member of Council and wrote to the mag to complain. It seems that it was decided by Council not to allow their publication. A caveat to the above is that I have not seen the letters concerned and most of my information is from reading the posts on ukskydiver.co.uk which seems to be the forum of choice these days.

Much as I don't really want to read about some strangers' petty squabbling, I am morally compelled to seek out the information now that such heavy handed editorial control has been exerted. M. |
