I'm sure Beaker will work it out.....

That woke me up !

I realise the sarcasm of course, but whilst still in the realm of the fuzzy land of the first 30 minutes of "awakeness" after a heavy night on the turps, that cost me half a cup of coffee, and possibly a mouse (missed keyboard thankfully) !

Re the Li-O's, my recolection is no, but there was a hell of a lot more "mangosteens" than normal.

Choc frog Ventus...   Well for the other half a cup, have you noticed how quiet our resident MH 370 super sleuth Muppet has been of late? - Well maybe (from off the Safeskies thread) this is why...

Paparazzi Rumour Mill... 


Thought it was passing strange that the doyen of Australian Aviation Safety & AAI, our MH370 super sleuth Muppet, a legend in his own OHS approved breakfast bowl, was apparently not present at "Safeskies are decidedly Empty Skies" gobfest.

Well a little piggy told me that someone with very large sunnies and an obvious dyed beard, was spotted walking the beach on Reunion Island?? Then I saw this on the internet celebrity gossip/rumour pages - Beaker on hols?- Sighted in Reunion Island, enroute to Maldives for a secret rendezvous with Miss Piggy.

Well if true it is good to know that even Beaker doesn't believe Safeskies worthy of an appearance, just for appearance purposes, & to pump felt with (so called) fellow self-flagellating, aviation safety gurus...  

Maybe in a sign that there could be an inkling of truth to the rumour, I intercepted the following tweet:

 
Really scrapping the bottom of the bucket now..   Guess Manners or even Sanga, are also out combing the beaches in RI &/or the Maldives..    

 
But seriously did anyone else see this?

..Mr. Truss said that the French forensic investigation will reveal when and how the flaperon separated from the wing, but the French have not yet finalized or shared their determination because it is a criminal investigation. He says it will determine if it detached before the crash (since a plane can fly without a flaperon) or in an explosion in the air, or upon impacting the water, or afterwards after floating or sinking while attached..

..If it detached upon impacting the water they can determine whether it was a high speed or low speed impact. Peter Foley added that they believe it detached at the time of a high speed impact with the water, but await the results of the French investigation to confirm..

..Peter said they are convinced the plane continued to fly until fuel exhaustion, one engine at a time, resulting in a spiral downward from cruising altitude and a high speed impact with the water. He said this scenario tracks perfectly with the final two handshakes...
