    Good answer, Swerve, and I could have Googled the question but sometimes you feel you get a bit more depth from the forum, and I do not always trust Wikipedia. Thanks anyway.:)

    Why was that? Because he was behaving like a prat or because he was booked – or both?

    You want a 32″ TV as your second TV?!:eek: A 16″ HD from Argos will only set you back £100 and you’ll be able to watch as much “rubbish” as you like.;)

    The downside is on those days, as I experienced on a recent visit to Duxford, when children with little real interest in the exhibits, other than that they could wind handles, turn screws, hit buttons and generally abuse the working exhibits in Space, designed to instil knowledge about how things work. The parents/minders were either disinterested or bashed the buttons harder than the children.

    So a difference here between organised school parties of children, which are to be commended and random, uncontrolled children and adults who seem to derive little of any benefit from their visit.

    If one reads the accident report, it was not a problem with the design of the aircraft, or its age that was the problem. The issue was with a tuppenny seal that had been made from the wrong material; a seal incidentally that has seen widespread use for years, but for a different purpose – on Spitfires for one!

    The fault, such as it was, lay within procurement, not with the aircraft.

    Shame.

    Irrelevant to this thread but just as insignificant and just as tragic as the O-ring on Challenger.

    There are a few worse than that! Some barely repeatable on a family forum!
