My friend Simon Creasey was badly burned in a fire the occurred in his LNC2
on attempting a forced landing a week ago after (we think) engine
problems.He is still in an induced coma and will continue to be so for some
weeks yet while the repair process proceeds.

He was attempting a forced landing and apparently clipped some unseen power
wires at the last moment turning what would have been "just another day at
the office" into a disaster. Simon's plane had a header tank, and it has got me wondering about the
wisdom of that configuration.

What say you all ?
