    In what way? Surely the most important source of post-crash data is from the cockpit and fright-data recorders these days?

    I’m no expert on these matters, but as I understand it. The CVR and FDR can help to tell what went wrong.
    You often need evidence from the wreckage to tell why it went wrong.

    Those who voted for independence (1.6 million) more than likely voted for SNP – the numbers are about the same.
    ~2.5 million didn’t vote for the SNP (~4.08 million registered voters in Scotland) and SNP got 1,454,436 votes.

    Let’s hope “the 33%” respect that the 66% didn’t want SNP in power…

    Comments made by many of those who voted SNP, indicate that not all of them want independence.

    I also wouldn’t mind betting that “Dave” was also aware that if certain facts about the goings on in Westminster
    during the 70-s and 80’s had hit the fan before the election. The Labour party may have well had a landslide victory.

    All though the B-29 is restored to a great finish,i can’t help but think it looked better when it arrived. All weathered and beaten now it looks a little too modely.
    [yes that is a word i just thought of it!].

    I can’t say that the colour scheme does much for me either.

    Watched Nicolas Cage in Lord of War last night. Good film.
    I have seen it before but must have missed the beginning.

    One scene shot in a hangar at Thunder City.

    Surely they can’t get all of the AAM aircraft in the same building ?

    Is that the Harry Harris one ?
    If so, it comes around regularly, always worth watching again though.

    Where have the postal ballot papers not appeared? I can’t find any thing on this after a quick rummage round the usual sources on the web other than the Ex-Pat ones.

    In a number of London boroughs. It was mentioned by a caller on LBC, and soon after their lines were jammed with callers
    claiming they hadn’t had theirs either. Apparently it’s not the first time it’s happened. The postal vote system is also open
    to abuse.

    Google “postal votes missing”, and there are numerous cases.
