Granted that makes him a more likely canidate(sp?) but remember that the
criteria for a saint is that they fought the Reckoning. Indeed perhaps a
pilot who fought in the wat mightn't be the best canidate at all. One of the

I've got it right) Lockhart for example. See, I wasn't toally kidding when I
suggested (Sir)Charles Kingsford-Smith.
