Surprised!

When I said in post #742 (thread 1) that there is:-

No powered plane without fire
Aeroplanes have been living with fire (in their engines) for over 100 years. This COULD be a precedent for permitting (inadvertent) fires in another power source, the batteries, provided it was as well contained as the engine combustion???

I did not seriously think that they WOULD do it.

PS I accepted the correction that there are some powered aircraft without fire.
