Stick it. This is a public forum. You want to communicate privately with Jimmy,
use email. Until then, don't bitch if someone else opens up.

Great discoveries are not announced with "Eureka!". What's usually said is
"Hummmmm... That's interesting...."

Bah. First I'd heard about this, not read much aviation press
recently.

I see the helicopter they were flying was a Bell 407. Jennifer's
previous round the world record flights were all in an R-44, with
"Q" (Quentin Smith) either as co-pilot (1996) or flying another
helicopter (another R-44) alongside, with Colin Bodil flying his
microlight (2000).

Polly Vacher is also on her way to circumnavigate the world
via the two poles (having done it the "easy" way in 2001) in
her Piper Dakota.

"Following the reception of a distress call early this morning, a
massive search for 63 year-old Jenny Murray and her co-pilot, Colin
Bodil began and culminated in their successful rescue.

Wonder if she/they will get the bill for the cost of the rescue and the cost
of removing the aircraft and containing any spills... Here in Michigan the
state and the coast guard is getting stern about this with the ice fishermen
and the snowmobilers... Stay out on the ice after a warning has been posted
and have to be rescued and you will get a bill in the thousands of
dollars...
