Time to get the old Piston-engine Aeroplanes out. I blame the Americans
and their Jet Airplanes.


The high pitched whine you can hear is Frank Whittle spinning in his
grave. I think he got a pittance for his efforts
.. And the then Labour Goverment gave a bunch of RR engines to the
Soviet Union. Stalion couldn't believe their stupidity.

If no-one is buying aviation fuel, has the price of domestic heating
oil dived like a gliding 747 (or do domestic boilers all use gas-oil/
red diesel)?
How much can they store, or do they have to stop refining the crude
stuff?
