The CATP Museum is a non-profit, charitable organization founded
and operated by volunteers. The Museum is dedicated to the
preservation of the history of the British Commonwealth Air
Training Plan and serves as a unique memorial to those airmen
who trained and served, and especially those who died, while
serving their country in the air war of 1939-1945. Hot high-
pressure air extracted from gas turbine engine compressor or
combustor and taken through valves and pipes to perform useful
work such as pressurization, driving machinery or anti-icing by
heating surfaces. "Whether it's causal or not, I don't think you
have enough information to go there yet." Source: John Cox, a
former pilot and aviation consultant, on the possible role a
stiff crosswind played in the December 20 takeoff crash of
Continental Airlines Flight 1404 at Denver International
Airport.
