They sound just like the MV Augusta at the TT last year. I reckon they sound better. Plus they were too loud before IMO. Qualifying was very good and unpredictable. Long may it continue!

I see they are saying this morning that the tracking systems were deliberately turned off and they have searched the pilot's house.

Other than being really sad as there were young children on board, WTmotherF is going on here ??

It went that way, it went this way. Transponders were off, it sent signals after all.. releasing satellite images by mistake, telling the families feck all.

What a mysterious mess !!

... are a few weird things coming from this case. The first is that a 15 year old girl says she met him in Spain. He gave her his number. When they were in teh UK he called her and arranged to meet her. He sent a car and driver round to her house. According to the evidence her parents didn't mind ...

I've tweeted the same thing. He was in it for the politics and for the benefit of others, not for the publicity and money. He was a political great. I didn't agree with his policies but he was a fine man who stood for what he believed in.

His comments about Tony Blair were priceless.

That's some tracking. A stolen bike tracked from London to Lithuania...and in Lithuania, local plod were happy to do what they are paid to do...unlike they UK equivalents.
