  Work is underway on drafting a new constitution for Iraq.  Why don't we 

send them ours?  It worked for 200 years, and we don't use it any more.

Good grief!



I thought our local paper reporting was of a pretty low standard but this is 

apalling.



`The pilot ``PROBABLYhad broken bones" Probably? I thought that reporters 

wer supposed to find out things like that.



He "LAUNCHED his plane?. What does he have, a catapult?



"There was "NO FIRE" Wow! There was no explosion either. I wonder they 

didn`t work that in?



"THE STUDENTS WERE IN NO DANGER"  Our press always work that in. Usually it 

is `If the plane had carried on  for only 3 miles it might have crashed 

close to a school, where if the students had not been on holiday many 

children may have been in danger`



Wouldn`t it be nice if reporters  worried about getting the story right 

and.actually knew something about about the subject.

No Pat you have it wrong There is no sensationalism in that ,you must make 

it read so the naughty ultra light is at fault . It is only by the grace of 

regulation that a disaster was averted . Now it will keep 20 investigators 

employed for months to work out that there was a engine problem and the 

pilot was the instigator of the problem. That makes perfect sense because 

with out the pilot the airplane would have stayed in the hanger and there 

would have been no incident to report

Just think how many people we keep employed trying to work out the whys. And 

Pat I am pretty sure it was you english men { Known as POME on this side of 

the world}that started this. Sorry no dis respect ment but thats the world 

we live in today .

Hi  from Pongolia, to you  out there in the Great Cultural Desert,



Nah! that disease may have been inflicted on Oz by the original `whinging 

Poms` that were mainly Union hardliners who left England when Thatcher 

dropped the boom on them in the UK

We have outgrown them here. At least I like to think so. If we haven`t the 

plans announced by the new Coalition governmet yesterday will thin `em out.



Where are you? I have been to Sinny a few times and  done a flying tour  to 

Broken Hill, Cooper Pedy, Ayers rock, Alice. Also a trip from Adelaide up 

the Murray and a drive along the Southern coastal road to Melbourne. Been up 

in the Rain Forest at Karanga.  All this on my way to NZ which suits my age 

group better than Oz.



When are you coming to UK? Better take this off list.

I have his name as Keith VanHouser...New Market,Tenn... at least the 

address in the story is the same...



   I called him from time to time to see how his half Vw engine was 

working out on the  Firefly... He was quite happy with the 

performance..for he had gone to a 45 horse super  stroker..



   Surely wish him a speedy recovery..and hope his injuries are not 

life threatening...



   An early version of his half vw engine was on display at the 

homecoming one year, mounted on a friends Firestar ...Homer looked 

the installation , observed  the engine running...His comment was 

that the engine vibrated a a lot..  .Herb

Me too Pat...



   I have been critical of US papers ever since I looked at your on 

line tabloid/News Paper called ' The Sun".   We need titillating 

pictures like that to improve circullation...Improves my circullation 

anyhow!!!   Herb

Herb- The report indicated the plane snagged on a fence.  Do you have other info?  Give him our best wishes for a speedy recovery and a fast repair on the plane.

We need titillating pictures like that >>



Dont we though!.



Not actually what I had in mind in my little rant about reporting standards. 

No one could accuse the Sun of having set the bar very high, but not quite 

at such a low level as that crash report.

I thought the wreckage looked Kolb like. Sorry to hear that the pilot was 

one of  our fellow listers.

Pat



   Keith is too busy to waste his time reading mailing list!! 

   He is a real go getter..  He bought a motorized wheel chair so 

that he could be mobile while the leg is healing..



    I figure that the reporting would improve if more of us 

crashed...  So...I hope the reporting remains amateurish and far 

in between...Herb
