Didn't know if to post this, but just to let you know it's on.

On Panorama last night and an excellent half hours viewing. Christina S continues to come across as an amazing woman.

Some interesting questions arise from this; is there any coincidence that the head of trade resigns his commission on the same day that the programme is screened? and who on earth put a ban on training new operators for 18 months when we are told it takes 6 to 7 years to fully train an individual to the 'high threat' status?

Huge respect for all the Felix teams.

...another interesting point is that said Col is leaving to set up an Explosives education & training business....a bit of PR perhaps? Col Seddon resigned some time ago, only now has it been made public for this progamme. Cynic? Me?

I'd heard this to. The timing of this announcement was impeccable.

Hope the politicians were watching. Greatest respect to the man, and also to his wife. Lot of dust around in our sitting rioom last night.

RIP
