Re: Just a thought

To which my first thought would be 'yes that's quite possible, second thought is then why haven't corporate already done it?

So you mr manager are just giving it the ruthless sounding flannel OR you are reducing shareholder value by keeping the onshore staff against business reason. And why would that be the case Mr Lumbergh...

Re: Cheap

Whittle and Ohain both went for centrifugal because it was achievable within the current at the time metallurgy and because centrifugal compressors were well understood because of aero engines.

Re: the most sophisticated agencies on earth could not track them once they left

OTH station a reaper at 30,000 ft over langley afb and use IR camera sensors to watch, then 'follow home'...

Presumably Langley afb is restricted airspace so shouldn't be a problem with the Reaper circling...

Re: Long Cut

2010 was it?

I was stuck in Schipol 16 hrs on the back end of it, nothing much flying, aircraft anywhere in Europe and legs off schedule,(crews no doubt time exceeded tooo etc) eventually. BA come through with some aircraft there's a 757 going to Heathrow, that'l do. Full load and off we go, I don't think it got above FL10 all the way back followed the Dutch/Belgian coast to Ostende then across the oggin and a direct approach up the Thames estuary.

I've still got the Miffy mug purchased on a whim during those looog hours of boredom. It's much coveted in the office...
