    Aye, & I would guess they were a bit thirsty with it at those 'poseur' sort of speeds?
    Now it's all about squeezing as many sardines as you can into a big tin and getting 'em there on little fuel.
    Problem is, if one of the 'big tins' goes down it will be mega / multiple carnage ..... hundreds.
    I always say, "Sit at the back ...... them things don't reverse into mountains!"

    I was a bit of an oddball until I was abducted by aliens; but I'm perfectly OK now!
