Mmmmmm. Have just heard Geoff Hoon talking about the defence cuts announced today. He was waffling on about perceived threats and so an, and said that in the future we will be joining forces with the Americans to see off the hordes wherever that threat might come from. It really gives me a warm glow to know that the safest place to be in the future is not in the middle of the bullseye. John Farley said that radio was the way to do it...well, they were obviously talking to somebody, but ignoring them. Anybody in London Mil care to comment.??


Ignition Overide Smug observations.?? You mean that we should not comment on this.?? It kinda explains some of the "Friendly Fire" problems in wars various. I am not saying that we Brits are immune to such problems, but this is a serious incident, if not from an Air Traffic point of view (Traffic out of Blackbushe + London) then from the wider issues explored by posters in this Forum under your definition of "Smug Observations".
