They didn't just 'slip off the taxiway, they missed it by a (US) mile .

Reddo - anything on the Challenger crash coming up in your circles?

On second thoughts, if some 'extra' of oxygen and fuel was added, it should have been found out who did it and on whose orders? It looks to me as if everyone is seeking conspiracy here but the tech log looks to me like maintenance entries "N/Stop check of crew oxy and top up" Topped up (Normal proc...

I have never come across 'comp fuel' before - the only Google hit I can find suggests it is a Korean Air company 'policy' to add fuel for known historic shortfalls, in which case it might not have been a crew decision, but OPS? It is quite high - around 8% and equal to final reserve. Any other pilot...

Had to admit a small snigger here - Amol Rajan (BBC broadcaster and 'chair' of University Challenge - has apparently upset Jeremy *unt by referring to him as the 'Fiscal Drag Queen' after the budget.

Yes, the main wheels are normally braked as part of the retraction process. Nose-wheel also if braked, or otherwise the wheel encounters a 'snubber' in the nose-gear bay when retracted. It looks as if that is when the wheel 'fell off'. A pity the Septics don't know the difference between a wheel and...

An impressive performance by Amazon and the British Postal Service. At about 22:20 last night I ordered a small item ("order within 16 minutes for next day delivery"). The package was delivered by Royal Mail by lunchtime! That's impressive.

Yes, but what about the Netball team?

We've been 'exercising' with the Swedish military for decades. I recall an excellent 10 days at Leuchars in '72 when an Ängelholm Draken squadron came over to work AD with 23Sqn. I had a recently separated RAF wife staying with us and the Swedish guys quite took to her... =)) On the other hand, I ne...

Maybe one of the missing bolts jammed it?

Maybe we'll get to see that long-awaited Netball team at last.................

There you go - in 'Black and White' https://www.spacex.com/launches/mission ... p-flight-3

An ambitious flight profile.

There must have been records at some point.

Put money on that?

Whatever - one thing you can be sure of, by now someone will have made a bolt for the door.

Maybe there IS NO paperwork and that is the root of the problem?

I don't know what mission profiles were involved- if it was ground attack/support for the troops then it is as Fox describes - 'IP to target'. The choice of IPs and routes to a target may well be constrained by terrain, suitable IPs, and/or where the enemy air defences are, so it can be possible to ...

Following an apparently successful wet dress rehearsal of B10/SS28, there are strong rumours of a launch licence and slated launch date of 14/3. Popcorn ordered from Amazon.

Talk TV (a UK 'chat' channel) has announced it is closing its TV channel and going 'on-line' only. Hospitals are said to be preparing for a huge influx of depressed viewers.................

One hopes the seal in question is not the one in ex-A's pool.
