RE: BA B747 ‘City of Oxford’

raf air craft go via wideawake (asceion island)

argentine aircraft carry widows to visit graves

tourist come by cruise ship from what i read

people visitng the uk take the direct raf flight – the palnee is a standard tristar that noramlly moves troops – i think they take limited cargo as well.

the flight link with chile or uraguy is al ways dogey as few people use it

RE: monarchys

“if it aint broke don’t fix it”

why change the system that works well – the problems with the states are not the monarchs fault but others in every case i cna think of. the pres just love ot scandle hunt around them and you people abroad miss out on all the real work they do.

a predient would be more politicla and expensive while royalty brings millions of amazed yanks and japanses to gawk at buckingham palace }> (and we make a fortune selling silly suviners)
