    Mike I echo what Peter said. In reading the obituary what a life he lead. You must be very proud of him indeed!

    Well done Andy! I did not understand closure when I was young. I had two Aunts who lost their husbands in the mud of Flanders. To this day they have no known grave. That thought haunted them and I did not really understand why. They were dead like so many hundreds of thousands of others in the Great War. On growing up I began to realise just what closure meant to people. So any thing you do that can bring things to a conclusion can give great comfort to those left behind. Good on you and your work!

    I think Sean Penn has as much right to talk about the Falklands as I have to demand Alaska is given to the Rusians.

    Antway back to aviation. Isn’t there a preserved Phantom at Stanley Airport th

    Yes that would go down well!:D

    On the Phantom I think you will find they chopped its head off and threw the rest away!

    Penn has made himself as popular with me as “Hanoi Jane” is to the Americans!

    Can we add the only operational rocket powered fighter the Me163 to the list or is it only for jet engines?

    Well Arthur are you trying to tell us that we fully understand everything about a new generation aircraft made of all sorts of composite materials and fixings and it is unlikely never to crash killing 500 souls and any who happen to be underneath it at the time? Or you might never happen to get part of a Rolls Royce Trent engine on your lap? Just because we can make something bigger does it mean we should?

    Just suppose you had enough money to buy a Bugatti Veyron and it developed cracks in it all singing and dancing spoiler. On mentioning it to the supplier you were told “Its quiet safe no cars crashed due to it yet” Would you say “Ok then” and bimble off?
