John Farley and airfoilmod – you are of course both right in your facts.
What got me was ethereal and not facts – call it gut feel, call it smelling something, call it vibrations in the ether, call it ‘away with the fairies’. I have no facts. I have no analysis. I have no scientific dissertation. If I told you the background to my concern, most people would laugh out loud - to avoid my further embarrassment, I’ll say that it is based on an “organic chemical”, as are jet fuel and biofuel blends.
I still think that there is a global issue coming with global consequences for the present fuels system. It's not just Chinese fuel. Arguable and dismissible. My only defence is that I sometimes have a disconcerting ability to see this sort of change. That sounds a bit arrogant, so let me apologise and offer Ernest Gann’s defence (as in the loose elevator bolt over California AFAIR) – blind dumb luck leads me to my conclusions.
