That Cliff Edge sign looks fairly permanent… Has the edge there not suffered erosion too?

And that answer Chas,begs the question, as to why they should?.

Um, why they should what? Accept it, oppose it, what?

Why don’t they ask the passengers what they’d favour…? Not crashing in the first place, I’d wager!;o)

The CVR usually – or used to – only give the last half hour of audio: there has to be the ability now to record the whole flight…? Same with the FDR, since the basic thinking was that the airliner would have some sort of catastrophic failure, crash immediately, and it would all be recorded and easily solved.

These days there must be the ability to store billions of terabytes of info in something the size of the standard black box, but there has to be the demand from the airlines and backing from the authorities before that sort of thing is brought in.

Hands up if you believe that the Ukrainian government building occupiers are NOT interspersed with Russian troops in un-badged uniforms…

Mind you, there are a few staged vids about, troops with blank firing adaptors on their Ak’s firing in the air before ‘storming’ a building, running through the script, that sort of thing.

No, I can remember my personal shock at discovering that there was a second surviving genuine He111 – a step-nosed version at that! – when all the books I had said there was just the Hendon one.
I was even led on by an early edition of Flypast which (I think) mentioned the ‘lone survivor’ RAFM exhibit when all that was left was relics and the Spanish-built versions. Ah, the days when there were just two Ju88s, two Ju87s, a handful of ‘real’ BF109s and a few Fw190s… Compare that with all those Do24’s that apparently survived in Spain – now what happened there*?

*The impression being that they all survived to the late 1960s; I guess the books were wrong and the other eight were scrapped.

With only five complete and original He-111’s surviving worldwide, the CASA2.111’s provide a useful representation of the type, despite their post war construction and use of merlin powerplants.

For a long time there was just the one (Hendon), before others were ‘discovered’ or recovered, so the fact that there appears to be so many around now can only be a positive thing.
Maybe the numbers will rise with more wrecks being recovered?
