I had put this in Forces Sweethearts.

I have brother out there flying them.

He has MSN but has been off line since Monday. How much do you think that they are not allowed to email home.

How many more do they want to kill before thay ground them.

I cant get hold of my SIL, I know if it was bad we would have been informed, but how long are the goverment going to let these refuel like!!!!

My brother is almost 50, and still flying as they havnt got enough crew.

it's bloody dangerous. do you think your brother was involved in mondays emergency landing, or do you not know any details at all.

shoshalite · 08/11/2007 13:09

No details at all, I usually speak to him early evening on MSN, thought it was funny he hadnt been on line, I am wondering if they are not allowed to have direct contact. I know he is fine this time or we would know.

But what about the next time?

it seems so crazy that they're still flying them. thoughts are with you shoshalite, hope you hear something soon.

shoshalite · 08/11/2007 17:35

Well we havnt heard anything, I know he is Ok or we would have heard, so managed to calm Pops down.

But still so angry that it has happened again.

Hope everything is ok Shosha. I'm sure your brother is fine, sometimes they have (as I'm sure you know) times when for operational purposes they can't communicate easily

This is yet another example of the Government and MOD not giving the appropriate equipment, or the money to spend on ensuring the equipment used is in excellent condition.
