That’s really good news and a tremendous achievement considering the depth at which it was retrieved. I believe the signal only lasts for about a month, so they would have been searching almost or probably in the dark.

EDIT. Looking further at the discovery, it would seem that the U.S. discovered the location of the two black boxes last January but they have only just been retrieved.

Specialist ship now on site attempting to recover the black box.

There were two, both are in the UK now…and both in process to flying condition, one more advanced than the other.

RM694 and RM927

Bl****y hell, you must have been following me in ’78 or vice versa, I was on my honeymoon then, Oshkosh and then mysterious cases! I had forgotten about this post!

Wouldn’t it be great if one of these was actually found after all these years – imagine your delight on opening a crate up after fifty years and finding out it wasn’t a Spitfire after all but a Hurricane!

Now you mention it, I met a guy in 1978, north of Chicago who claimed he had a Spitfire in a crate! Showed me the case, but wouldn’t open it! Wonder what happend to it?:confused:

and I would never pay for priority boarding as I think it is pointless!

Of course it is pointless, at our airport, you are first out of the door and then you get on a bus with ninety other people! What a con!

Thanks a lot. Has anyone flown with them?

One and a half million people did last year!:D Maybe none of them are members of this forum? The parent company is SAS.

The picture of the derelict Bristol Freighter in Canada earlier in the thread?

Thanks, I only checked the first two pages of the thread, Monday morning lazy I guess!:) Still the link would have helped.:D
