Footster
Thank you for your condolences they are appreciated.
The bottom line is statistics on air crashes means little to most people unless you or your loved ones happen to be on an aircraft that crashes.
Ben used to say statistically he was more likely to be killed in a road accident than flying in a Nimrod .So I agree with Footster statistics in this case and to me personally mean very little. Apart from the fact I have got to know more guys who are flying them now and couldn't bear to hear about another Nimrod being lost due to a fuel leak.
