A couple of passengers commented that they barely felt the touchdown,
and thought it was a proper landing - until told to evacuate the plane
quickly under a shower of fire-fighting foam.

I heard on TV a Qantas cabin crew-woman complaining bitterly that she
had to clean up the cabin after a passenger had died, losing control
of his bowels in the process.

I have just watched a program on "Spitfire Women", who ferried the
fighters from factory to front line during WW2.  They all praised the
Spitfire, one of them saying it was a real "ladies' aircraft", as it
was so nimble, with light, precise controls.

  A surprisingly good cake, which I loved so much [during WWI] that I
  dreamed about it at night and which I have tried [during WWII] with
  practically the same results, can be whipped together and put in the
  oven with the ham and whatever else ...
