There will be irresponsible people though, who draw out their pension, then run out of money in the future.
It happens now, when people take a 25% lump sum (as I did last year). Some of them blow it all in the first
few years.
There will also be plenty of stories of how people are falling victim to scams, and losing everything.

Then again, there will be those who use the money wisely, and maybe also have plenty of money
from inheritances to see them through into later life.

It’s not easy to generalise.

It is about time that real-time tracking and flight data upload are installed, the technology has been there for a while already. The plane I’m flying has onboard wifi which works everywhere I’ve been so far.
.

The cost of installing this sort of equipment on aircraft should be minimal. As would the cost of having radio beacons, which would surface if an aircraft comes down in the sea.

Not for this year unfortunately.

A regular occurrence out there unfortunately.

That’s a great shame, but perhaps not entirely unexpected.

Have to feel sorry for Alastair Welch, after leaving a successful Southend airport.

I read that:

“….Tony Benn and his brother Michael, both joined the Royal Air Force during the war. Tony successfully served as a pilot officer in South Africa and Rhodesia, but Michael was tragically killed on 23rd June, 1944, when as a result of a faulty air speed indicator, his aircraft crashed at Chichester….”

Can anyone expand on this ?

There is another interesting comment on the death of Tony Benn here: http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/commentators/tony-benn-was-entirely-ineffectual-and-usually-wrong-9194699.html

Not sure if it has on here, but it’s certainly been discussed in the media.

I assume searches have also been done on land ?
