Wonderful letter to the London Times 
(no, I don't read it, but one of my correspondants does):

       Spies in a flap

    From Dr Alan M. Calverd

    Sir, I was intrigued to read (report, September 13) about a 100g
    flapping- wing spy plane that will "fly quietly through a
    building".

    After more than 100 million years' research and development (and
    the destruction of countless prototypes) a 0.5g wasp still
    commands instant attention and cannot fly through a closed door.

    At twice the size and ten times the wing loading of a dragonfly,
    the proposed vehicle lacks some credibility in a covert or
    counter-terrorist role.

    Yours faithfully,

    ALAN M. CALVERD,
    35 Badgers,
    Bishops Stortford,
