Those of us old enough to remember Alan Bodger will probably recall Lord Brabazon’s TV appearance
demonstrating why it was not a good idea for commercial airlines to fuel up with JP4. That was/is a 50/50
mix of gasoline and kerosene I believe. Brabazon was was head of the ARB at the time, but apparently it
was beyond his powers to ban the stuff. The whole thing was debated in Parliament and anyone interested
can read his epic speech in Hansard for 01 February 1961. Sorry, I can’t post the link, but check it out for
history in the making.
