olympic torch

Thanks Anagram and Barrow, looked up the link and there was the info!!!!
Are gransnetters looking forward to the olympics, will you be glued to your chair watching everyday and every event possible. Will you previously have watched Euro 2012, Cricket, Wimbledon, The Derby etc etc.? Or will you be doing something else...........What!!!!!!!

There was a previous thread on this subject (The Flame...)

I believe this is a private charter plane. Presumably if you hire a plane you can take whatever you want on board. I am curious as to the logistics of transporting the flame. Does someone sit there holding the torch or is it contained in a box or, my sneaking suspicion, is it put out once it is on the plane and then relit using a match just before they get off!!!
