mini I think that Bomber Harris has been rather polite to you. You said
I think Mr Cullens "letter" was naive in the extreme
- but you don't even know what was in it. The facts of this matter speak for themselves and the issues of relevance are reasonably clear. Not least relevant is U.K. policy and police procedures in respect of aircraft with bomb warnings. Nothing naive about asking about that - not least because every aircraft commander is entitled to know (and the travelling public too). They are also entitled to know about the kind of reasoning which declares a bomb warning of sufficient seriousness to lead to a diversion/fighter escort - but not the immediate evacuation of the aircraft.
