Oddly enough, I was listening to Messrs. Horne, Williams and Paddick in the car today (sounds like a law firm, but much more fun!). However, in fairness to Boeing, most of the recent accidents can hardly be attributed to faults with their aircraft - indeed, (from what I can recall) the last five 737 hull losses have involved Indonesian registered aircraft, for example that freighter that undershot in fog at Kuching. Hardly Boeing's fault; the fact of the matter is that Boeing aircraft still outnumber Airbuses significantly.

I'm sure there are still technical issues to discuss, but at the end of the day, the aircraft was certified by the FAA and JAA at the end of last year, so they must have been satisfied that everything was as it should have been.

What are the three main versions available now?
