It was the defenestration of Prague that began the Thirty Years War. That's when a room load of worthies were heaved out of a castle window and so began the first great pan European war 1618-1648.
The 15% required to be added for grass runways relates to the figure extrapolated for TORR. This needs to be added to 50ft obstacle figure determined in order to compensate for the difference between tarmac and grass surfaces. Otherwise the figures seem reasonable enough examples of graphological expertise. One should perhaps decline to speculate how the figures could relate to the accident in question preferring to leave those calculations to the board of inquiry which one presumes is going to convene at some indeterminate stage in the future? As for all this talk of rebranding or restructuring, isn't it the equivalent of a large can of whitewash and a broad brush and hasn't South Africa seen much the same sort of camouflage exercise with one of its own multiple scoring accident airlines recently. The references to that can most assuredly be found on the air links available on the internet. A first class example of the clever use of whitewashing to obtain one's own ends may be had by reference to Mark Twain's Tom Sawyer and the fence job.
Happy New Year to one and all and fireworks all round. The Arab New Year will not take place until November 27th, 2012. 1435AH will also revere the death of Imam Hussein, killed with his family and followers at the battle of Karbala in 680. It's a celebration marked with grief unlike the rather undignified disintegration into alcoholic stupor which marks the Gregorian new year.
