Thanks for the correction.

Peter Cook ("I'd have been a judge but I didn't have the Latin" ) and Dudley Moore (who played "Derek and Clive" respectively). It was said of Peter Cook that he could walk into a room of total strangers and have them all in gales of laughter within minutes.

I love my Fuzzy Bear fluffy sleepers. They're knockoffs bought in
China but what the heck, they're fine nonetheless.

What did the Turkish pilot think the Russian plane was going to do to Turkey?

The post that was quoted here has been removed

Why did the Russian plane just let itself be shot down? Surely it could have just taken the Turkish plane out ~ or tried to ~ if it wanted to invade Turkish airspace?

The post that was quoted here has been removed

Everything about the episode points to the Russian plane being over Syria. The reason the Russian plane didn't engage in combat was presumably because there was absolutely no reason to do so. The surviving Russian pilot has confirmed that no warnings were received. The Russian plane would not have just let itself be destroyed after "ten warnings". Why on earth would a military pilot seek to die in that way? It doesn't add up. The Turkish need to do more than just produce audio and visuals that even I could cobble together on a computer and pass off as evidence.
