This part of the forum is suposed to be about "Rumours and News"
I was just after confirmation or otherwise of this story. Oh and I did say a reliable source, but you'll have to trust me on that one.
"old 'folk lore' aviation stories" very often have a high margin of truth in them as witnessed by all the other similar true tales prompted here.
For you to read anything else into the header for this thread is very pessimistic, but now I can see that it could be read another way and if I have upset anyone, by that, then I apologise.
(It takes 2 secs to see that it was nothing catastrophic)
