Lol Dennis, You've obviously never been to see Dave in his modern warehouse.
How many multistore model jet shop companies are there in the UK, or even the US? I can't think of one.
I think i'd be safe to say that he's probably the largest jet dealer in the UK and would have a grasp on the economic state of the industry he's in.

Myself, i'm not on here much now as i can't afford to buy anything new to build, and so have nothing to post about.

So, rather than stating how bored you are with the forum, why not do something about it and pick up a mick reeves kit, or a thorjet kit and start building something, whilst supporting the industry at the same time?
