Wander00 - I agree that the jettison account is the accepted wisdom on that poor little Norseman carrying the great Major Miller to Paris.

Danny - could not agree with you more about the film "Gone with the Wind".

Pub Quiz time now: What was the planned title for the book before MM settled on using "Gone with the Wind"?
If you have a copy of the book on your shelf, here's a clue - look at the last line of the story.
NB I cannot afford a prize for the provider of the correct answer. (Terms & Conditions apply).

PS. Mr Wander00, I now see that some bright spark says that the time of the Lancs. jettison does not match the time of the Norseman in that area of the channel - he says icing is the main suspect. Hey Ho! unless the wreckage is ever identified I guess we will never know.
