Very glad the B1 bomber chaps are ok.

You'd have thought that $300 million would buy something a bit more robust. Always thought bombers were supposed to be dead 'ard in case of combat damage: lots of engines, redundancy built into the systems, etc, etc. Can't have 'em dropping out of the sky just because the navigator drops a pencil on something fragile or whatever.

Still, it's nice to hear that the cousins have finally found something useful to do with 'em.

Before someone tells me to wait for the enquiry: sod off, 'cos anything coming out of any enquiry is unlikely to be made public for yonks.
