Tragic ! My condolences to friends and family
Cusco,
A valid observation after all though following the contrived, mawkish, Blair induced "people's princess" trash and the OTT national mourning, flowers, tears etc which devalued genuine condolences and has become an institutionalised farce in UK in my opinion.
However, those above are more than likely fellow aviators who have every right to express their feelings at this time on an aviators forum.
