If I'm not mistaken, AMSO himself from 1987 used to post here on the Mull of Kintyre thread for many years, saying the pilots were guilty as charged. He would never explain why, just throwing random...

Thanks chug. I'd noticed a two part film scheduled on BBC N. Ireland and looks like the first part is this Monday at 2240. Presumably for the upcoming 30th anniversary. I can pick it up here on a...

Seems to me that rather than wanting safety to be managed properly, some are advocating that it’s okay to somehow retrospectively waive parts of the process after an accident. Surely the general...

I found that review irksome and ungracious. Mr Nichol has obviously put a lot of time and effort into his research, and when discussing designs going back to the 1940s it's probably impossible to get...

But who would pick up the rubbish, drive the ambulances, fight the fires etc?! I suppose we could open the borders again. Come back, all is forgiven. Bring your Mrs, as long as she's a nurse.
