He is in the minor league Jim. For real graft and corruption you should read
the case, as reported this week in the press, of Teodoro Obiang, son of the
President of Equatorial Guinea, where 70% of the population live below the
poverty line....God alone knows this bastard`s greed, but in the USA alone
the young man is accused by the USA Govt of secretly amassing $100 million
and they are trying to seize $70 million of it -several millionaire homes, $30
million classic car collection, etc etc - and give the money back to the "people
of Guinea (stupid idea because the corrupt ruler will no doubt return the
money to his son.......Obiang is unrepentant. He just ordered the world`s
most expensive yacht at $380 million !!!!

Nice Daily Mail touch about the baguette oven !laugh!

[jimslip]

Yes RGB I too was a little curious about the installation of a Baguette oven on an aircraft, least of all because of the current that such an appliance would draw, surely 3 to 5 KW surely and wouldn't it be a fire hazard? You'd also have to remove a big block of seats to contain the appliance. But then that's the French for you! I am surprised that the French president hadn't had built an old cellar style room on the plane for a selection of fine Champagne and cheeses and next door maybe a counter serving giant platters of, Fruit de Mere, I certainly would!

A typical Aircraft Baguette oven?

Plenty of room in the belly of a 747, and as they have APU's 5Kw should be no problem.

Pompous little French git he even told our Dave to shut up !wink!

Yes Rodders, but you'd still have to supply power to the spa, sauna and heated pool for Carla, so together with the baguette oven you've got to be drawin' a good 20 KW !
