understand also that the lamp cradles are designed to extinguish the flame when tipped.
I remember an old cartoon that had an Olympic athlete sitting the cabin holding a burning torch. The passenger beside him says "Shouldn't you at least run up and down the aisle?".

Looks like a burn mark on the antimacassar...

Couldn't they just use it to ignite the fuel in the engines? that's a fairly safe way of transporting a flame via aircraft. Of course, extracting it at the far end might be challenging.
