I can take a hint, Avion Ancien. Roland Garros, surely.

Still think it’s a Clerget.

Looks very like a Clerget to me

First flight of Rene Gasnier, distinguished French aeronaut and one of the first to acclaim the Wrights in Europe?

EDit: Whoops! While I was double-checking, everyone else got there first.

I was thinking Beverley tail boom too at first, but it’s the slight taper towards the top that gets me and, from memory, the Bev had parallel sides in that area – and just about everywhere else for that matter!
Looks a bit Lancaster/Lancastrian to me, but were they ever used for paratroop dropping?

As was said on the Qantas emergency thread not so long ago, a sudden depressursation and the subsequent emergency descent can be a damned terrifying experience.
It’s easy enough for those not involved to pronounce that there was little actual danger (even though they may be right) and to tut-tut about media news judgements.
But if the alternative is a Pravda-style managed news, I’d rather stick with what we’ve got, for all its faults.

Postscript: I’ve just heard the BBC Radio 4 account. By and large it took the Ryanair line, emphasising that the oxygen masks appeard to be in good working order despite the opinions of some passengers. At 25 minutes into a 30-minute bulletin, it was obviously not regarded as the most important news of the day.

Easy to make a small fortune in the airline business…

start with a large one

(I’ll get me coat….)

Did you know that the only reason that Cohen is performing is because his agent stitched him up and left him with no money. Unfortunately, the silly man refused to let the BBC show his performance, why, I don’t know, perhaps he had doubts about himself, who knows, it was a bit of an own goal methinks.
I was fortunate enough to see him in his heyday nearly 40 years ago, mind you, he was a miserable sod on stage even then, but thats what you expected of him in those days, it was all part of his ‘charisma’.

There are plenty of pirate clips on YouTube if you look for them.
Saw him twice in the early 70s myself, and I’ve got tickets for the NEC in November.
My recollection is that on stage his melancholy was relieved by a persistent streak of self-mocking humour.

A friend who went reckoned it was worth the admission price just to catch up with Leonard Cohen – 70-something and still had the audience in the palm of his hand.
