Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 10-2-2019: HMS Dreadnought

10th February, 2019.


Right then … 

As you’ve possibly noticed from the introductory video … ?

I’ve now got a new pair of spectacles.

And, worryingly?   I’m thinking they make me look a little too much like Harry Potter for my comfort.   Although, as I mentioned, yesterday … ?

Ponder Stibbons — one of Terry Pratchett’s recurring characters — is a fictional someone I’d far prefer to be compared to.

After all, he’s a rocket wizard.

Have you been watching the news … ?

You, like I , would possibly be following the story of Emiliano Sala, the former Nantes player who’d been signed to Cardiff FC, and whose plane crashed on the way back to pick up his personal belongings.

How body’s been found.

Which is good.

But … ?

I’ve not been able to find the reference for this.   But I seem to remember reports that pilot had claimed to be out of practise with the model of plane.   That there were some doubts about an airworthiness certificate.

And that Sala himself had sent a message saying “ … I am now on board a plane that seems like it is falling to pieces …”

Frankly?

I’d love to hear the air accident report: I don’t about Sala’s family, but I’d like to know what happened …
