Sharon,

As Paul said, it is not as though you can just pop down the road to have a look. It is in the middle of Egypt, you need a vehicle, drivers and escorts. These guys are workers, not tourists and don't work 9-5, 5 days a week.

One month! Considering the 'news' on the web is only 2 weeks old, I think we have a staggering amount of information. 15 years ago the news would be trickling through about some plane with roundels found in the desert and would have taken 6 months to get to where we are now!

The ID is at the top of a list of very important questions/requests. If I asked you if you could tell me the engine number on a Ford Focus with number plate AF54 RFS located on the Shetlands, how long would it take you to get it to me?

It is frustrating (you have no idea) as there is a lot wanting to confirm the identity and status of the pilot above anything else!

Yours frustrated

Mark
