I love them!!
Did you know that the National Executioner bumped off Di for consorting with Arabs then had a few years off before taking Dr Kelly out of the equation?
Oh and putting the top twenty secret service people in one helicopter (in one job I had, a maximum of three of us were allowed to travel together in any one form of transport) and flying it into Scotland - literally. What's that all about then?
Of course they are only theories.
Aren't they?

The obverse is also true. At work for example we have a number of very effective ways to die. I would not let uninitiated people wonder around alone.

John - this is true - but I have a feeling that if they have taken the money from your card before sending the goods , then that is accepted as agreeing to the article being sold for that price .
My understanding is that they are not supposed to take the money from your card before actually sending the goods.

The Mull of Kintyre crash is dodgy as they come. There is no way that it was the aircrew's fault, the facts just don't add up.
I have read that RAF test pilots refused to carry out the single engine test (simulating an engine failure) on the MK2 Chinook when it was first introduced, as they didn't trust the electronics on the "good" engine to keep it running. There is also the fact that the transponder on the aircraft, when found, was two digits away from the emergency setting. Apparently there is no way that the impact could have done this and it was a long way from the correct setting for the flight. The aircraft hit the hill belly first too.
This, to me, adds up to a picture of pilots trying to call for help in a struggling helicopter which was refusing to climb. The chair of the original investigation didn't accept that it was pilot error but was instructed to record that verdict. See, there was a multi-million pound order to Boeing involved and the government of the era didn't want to tell the USA that the new helicopter was junk. Apparently this was more important than the reputations of four very experienced helicopter crew.
