  4. It's obvious this fellow could FLY. HE was probably one of the few "naturals" out there. ANY controllable, heavier than air THING with a useable Lift/ drag ratio is a plane in my book. The "Weather" WAS the Factor here. . He even managed to fly in cloud for a while. Someone would have had to Physically restrain him and how could that Happen in a real situation? AS an Instructor I would only rarely touch the controls ALL that stuff should be covered before the flight. at the BRIEFING. I would take over ONLY IF I had to . Nev

  9. Aren't we assuming it WILL go to a prosecution? We can be rightly concerned about the costs so far but a few people here are not without a vested interest in This affair IF proceedings are not happening , then it's another matter. WE don't know yet (as far as I know) but only then will some people be free to elaborate if they wish to. I just believe in the fair go for everybody on such occasions. I'm not against free speech if that's a coming accusation. It's been used before. Nev

  11. Passing over a non controlled aerodrome at any height above 2500" AGL will not interfere with the circuit traffic. A designated training area can be a different matter. Overflying should take account of aircraft descending on track to enter the circuit, but you must also consider traffic in and out on other tracks. Nev
  12. People are entitled to the Presumption of Innocence until charged and proven guilty. Let's just allow that shall we? Nev
  13. Nickel will always be in demand. Sulphur is easily supplied by the Oil refining Process. Usually Crude oil is about 7% Sulphur. Sulphur when burned S02 is really bad for making acid rain, . H2S is rotten egg gas. H2S04 is Sulphuric acid. Nev
