Thanks for that Karl. When I first saw the photo I thought it was an aerial version of the Titanic..."Attention passengers, this is your pilot speaking. We have hit an iceberg(could happen). Would the women, children and chaps dressed as women please report to the lifeplane. As we don't have an orchestra on board, here's a copy of my mixed tape the rest of you can listen to as we go down."

Surely it can float, not so sure if it can fly....

Are you sure it wasn't a submarine?

Almost...
