Sadly, from the video, it doesn't look survivable.

Re: F1 2024
Read somewhere that Karoon Chandok, Naomi S. and Natalie P. were not going to be back at tracks until Miami in May although Rachel, Ted and Martin will be there all the time.

Re: Band Of Brothers Documentary
I have both boxed sets. Episode 9 of B of B was one of the most powerful pieces of television I have seen [Discovering the Concentration Camp]. My wife found it very difficult to watch. Very lump in the throat time. Agree with Red about Pacific.

Re: Band Of Brothers Documentary
What an amazing piece of television this series was!!. Arguably the best ever. If any of you have not yet seen it, I urge you to make the effort to do so. By pure coincidence, I was dancing [ballroom] last night, and the last waltz was to the evocative theme music. Superb.

Re: Capt Eric Moody passes.
Two types of pilots.... Those who can fly, and those who can't. He was definitely the former.

Re: Steve Canyon
Agree with Roughcutter. Pretty gung-ho and corny, but some very unseen [by me] footage from way back when. Ignore everything apart from the aircraft. Very dubious flying techniques for an 'Ace Pilot' like putting the flaps and gear fully down way to early in his C.130 when doubtful of making the run...

RJAF silver 2 seater flew past my cruise ship in Aqaba harbour 6 years ago. Lovely sight and sound. Very close to the ship.

Re: Warning!? Waddington and other airfields
Went to St Maarten. Ridiculous people there. Eventually a lady was killed when blown into the concrete central reservation. People with sand in their eyes, stones peppering their faces, let alone standing in the undershoot, which was really scary. Only did it once, that was enough!! Occasionally peo...
