Oh for heavens sake stop making idiotic comparisons with WW2 ! That 'alliance' - it wasn't an alliance in fact - didn't last long anyway. Graham

I'm not going to wade through 3092 posts to look for it. I want brands, model numbers, and specifications of the radio equipment on both the airliner and the ship.

I've spent my life working on communications systems, and I don't believe it. -- Service to my country? Been there, Done that, and I've got my DD214 to prove it. Member of DAV #85. Michael A.

It is because..., because...., well, actually you're right. Why should we, indeed? Let them pound the streets.
