Fans separation innit. Why does that matter?

I think they're 'better than nothing' but any indications of location are going to be very approximate. The latest change of search area to one further north is because they have decided that the plane was flying faster in the early phases where they could track it so it would have used up its fuel earlier. It's quite possible that no trace will ever be found.

It also allows the player to get a personal ovation when they leave the pitch.

I use Tapatalk on my ipad and I don't have these problems.

I don't mind what position we're shown as long as we get a decent coverage. I always record the show and watch the recording after it's started. That way I can skip through the analysis.

I thought he was ok.

Milk chocolate? You can't do it - I've tried.

Is ha any good? Did anybody see hi play, for the reserves maybe?

I think they later changed their interpretation of this. I think the ACARS reported every 30 minutes and the next report was due after the last ATC contact so they don't know exactly when it was deactivated. I can't remember when the transponder was turned off but I'm sure the ATC would have mentioned it.

Have you also got series 1 & 2? I ought to watch those first.

How can you possibly criticise? All those involved are doing everything they can. If you know better then I'm sure they'd like to hear from you.

That is a serious worry.

Barking mad Barker?

That's just England. What about the global bit? (I don't ask these question just to be awkward, rather to stimulate basic debate)

We've had a lot of wild guesses over the years. The most extensive long-term temperature measurements are from the UK but of course for a lot of this period we have been one of the most polluted countries. The clean-air act made an enormous improvement in air quality from the 1950s onwards.

So what caused the warming up until 1970?

Quite right. The only true indicator is league position.

Thanks for these links, very interesting. It seems that the key to the analysis is that the satellite itself wanders in a figure of eight motion so its relative motion to the plane and the corresponding Doppler shifts help to eliminate the northern route alternative. The four week duration for the black box signal must surely be a minimum specification so you would normally expect a couple of weeks longer but even so the range is limited and in deep water you'd have to be right on top of it to locate it. The link below states that if the plane had been doing 310 knots at 12,000 ft then the crash site would be in a completely different location. http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/future_tense/2014/03/evidence_that_flight_mh370_crashed_in_the_southern_ocean_doppler_effect.2.html

Just the one, surely? I couldn't see any others.

I've never heard of that. To me anything do do with them is offensive.

Because of their one child policy in many cases they have lost their only family member. Many elderly relatives now have no one to look after them in their old age.

Takings plummeted when you stopped going

He's got to get near the ball first

Many years ago we were caravanning in the south of a France and in broad daylight at around 4 in the afternoon I saw what must have been a large meteor moving across the sky. It could easily have been mistaken for a burning plane.
