On a more positive note - here's an idea I've expressed in a few places before, and I'll just put it up here for anybody to think about.
There are some truly amazing pilots who have had their last flight: Jeffrey Quill, Neil Armstrong, Douglas Bader - to name three of many.
Wouldn't it be great if somebody somewhere - ideally for a suitable charity - could obtain permission to publish facsimiles of some of these great pilots' logbooks.
Who wouldn't pay good money for the privilege of being able to curl up of an evening and browse through Eric Brown's logbook?
