thanks again esp tp G SXTY . She will be fine ;she's flown a grea deal but only once behind a prop and that was in NZ and she was wearing a parachute.
As I said I like them myself and they make a change from fans engined sameness.
Delays happen everywhere and she has a reasonably early flight in the day so hopefully no delay build up. As for the SAS probs it does apear from the threads here and elsewhere that there was some peculiarity specifc to SAS and perhaps their early Q400s which doesnt seem t have been replicated elsewhere. As i said thanks to all for taking the time to reply
