Thanks for the words. I was a good mate of one of the pax on the flight and I regret that you do not believe my sympathies - I would very much like to share a beer with him again.

I hope you get what you are looking for, but please be mindful that there are those that remain unconvinced that this is the answer to the probem (I am not alone if you look at this and other threads - there are several dissenters). I only hope for all our sakes it does not cancel (due to budgetary constraints) another project that is so desperately needed.

So what other projects are desperately needed at the moment? I would have thought that DAS, ESF and armour for the SH and AT fleets would be a priority given the nature of ops at the moment.

No doubt body coloured wing mirrors for Typhoon are a higher priority though

i am more than aware that there will be those who disagree with what i'm doing. i'm not in this to make friends. it is with great interest that i read opposing views but if there is going to be a point made please back up your points properly. like i said, i found the use of the stills from the terroist video distasteful to say the least.

i am doing this as it's what i believe in whole heartedly. we all have causes we think are more worthy than those that are currently being fought out but then do something about it. follow suit and fight for what you believe in. this campaign was started as this suppressant technology is needed. the hierarchy involved need to be made aware that this isn't a flight of fancy or a mad old bird gone insane in grief treading on toes that should n't be trod on. 2241 people can all back me up in this point. the upper echalons need to made aware of that.

this is not going to bring them back. they are gone and only one day will we be able to share a cold beer with them in the bar in the sky. but i will do what i can to make sure that for now the bar doesn't get any new punters!

i am sorry for your loss. maybe then you can understand a little of the grief,desperation and anger i feel at this situation. so, please exercise a little more tact than previously. do not be a bully be a man. and no more stunts of images of wreckage. please. i beg of you.like i've said before, i don't need a reminder of the terrifying experience my brother and the others had to endure before they died. i see that every time a herc flies over. i wonder how high they were,how much they knew, how scared they were, how much it hurt nad how long it took. i also see it at night when i close my eyes. i see it when i hear a song when i think of him...i do not need reminding of it when we are debating foam. please do not pick up chunks of text that mean nothing to your arguement. it is not the forum to speculate lets talk facts. that is the way to be heard leon.

Your points are taken and I apologise for any grief that I have personally caused you and your family; they were unintentional.
