Courtney Mil,
I'm with you, and TT on this one. Like many I have been close to people lost in accidents, and feel uncomfortable at speculation, seemingly trying to out do the gutter press, within minutes of the announcement of the incident. I think that most who regularly post on the Military Thread fully recognise this, and refrain from doing so, and, that often, those who do act, as happened with the A400 thread, have not given due thought to the effect their "opinions" may have on close friends and relatives. One thing for sure, whilst such erudite characters as yourselves maintain an interest in the ramblings of the rest of us, we won't stray too far from the straight and narrow.
