pprune is not "the world"
No, but in this particular case there are a very high proportion of contributors who know the subject of this thread very well indeed. He is everything that has already been written ..........and more!
I'm not going to kick
TD when he's down; he, and all the relatives, have suffered enough.
However, he should be well aware by now, that by attacking Wg Cdr Cannard in such a vitriolic manner, he made a serious error of judgement. One which, as others have said, has destroyed a large reservoir of goodwill that he built up since the tragedy.
Again, as others have pointed out, it's fine to shoot arrows, but you need to be aiming much much higher. The seeds of this tragedy were sown long ago. Think politics, think money.
DV, I wish you, TD, Shona, jan, LabQueen and all other friends and relatives a very happy and peaceful 2008.
I'd also like to add my own congratulations to
Wg Cdr Martin Cannard OBE.
Can we put an end to this thread now?
