Yes Danny, I understand it only too well and in preparing my current ramblings I have had to work hard to avoid Irish politics! In fact there was considerable co-operation as will be seen in future postings.
Apropos the measurements mixup, I seem to recall an American B737 crew who thought they had been refuelled in US gallons when in fact they had lbs (pounds). They discovered this when all went quiet at 28,000 ft. Fortunately the captain was a glider pilot as well and made a brilliant dead-stick landing at an airport 40 miles away.
May we all be well fuelled in a peaceful New Year, and may we all have the endurance to see in the next one. Best wishes.
