Apparantly there was a programme on Radio 4 (UK) 'the other night' about BAe 146 accidents and incidents and the organo phosphates / oil mist in the cabin air problem was discussed. Did anyone listen to it? Did I miss anything?

Q1 - Yes
Q2 - No
OK, to fill that out a little; I managed to prevent myself throwing missiles at the radio for the first ten minutes, or so, of standard UK journo claptrap and uninformed speculation and then switched off. I cannot believe that anything which followed would have had any higher technical or intellectual content. However, given the Beeb's overweening desire to flood the ether and landlines with their 'dumbed down' rubbish, I suspect that a transcript, or somesuch will be available on their constantly advertised web-site.
Why do they bother? :mad:
