With a ‘prize’ like Bin Laden being delivered to them then surely the least they could have done was to spirit this man and his family away and given them a new life in the US.
Must say this did cross my mind, this guy put his neck on the block (literally most likely) & they made no plan to protect him when the spaghetti hit the fan.
Left high & dry springs to mind. :rolleyes:
Quite telling how the US decided to keep the whole deal secret from the Pakistani government, obviously they know who their friends aren’t.

Take a long hard look at a Napier Sabre and you will realise that they are on a completely higher level of complexity and risk.
Too true, you look in to a Merlin or Griffon & you can identify the design as not too far removed from a conventional engine, the cylinder arrangement on the Sabre is quite interesting & that’s before we begin to examine all the shafts & wiggly bits.
I believe the engines were sorted out in the end, but the Bristol Centaurus* came along & that was the end of that.
