Oh good grief! Why do some people have to get so self righteous over the smallest things?
FYI My "humour" wasn't aimed at the dead pilot, although humour isn't always a bad thing to fall back on in such circumstances (my Grandfather lost many good friends in WW2 and often joked over some of the more unusual ways they departed ... it didn't mean he wasn't sorry to see them die though).
I was simply trying (obviously unsuccessfully) to inject a little humour into a thread which often has the glider pilots tutting and the bar room aces hissing over the complexities of dealing with such dangerous situations! I thought the evil grin would make it obvious it was meant tounge in cheek. But no, I must be a heartless fool who revels in mocking the dead! Ho bloody hum!
SS .... Humourless
