Reading Glasses
I do believe the mojority of posters to this thread have lost their reading glasses and are just imagining what is appearing in print on their pc screen.
Let me elaborate.
In post 67 there is an extract from the Sunday Graphic with an article by Gavin Lyall. In all subsequent threads he is referred to as Lyle with many derogatory remarks about his article.
Any student of modern literature will know that Gavin Lyall was well educated i.e. Cambridge University, and an ex RAF Pilot. He has authored many books with an aviation theme and achieved recognition for same. He would have known what was happening around him however he had a story to write for the Sunday Graphic and a family to feed so he wrote what the public wanted to read.
By the way, was there a fall back plan if the bomb doors didn't open? Thank you Stanley Kubrick.
