My thoughts on this (for what it's worth), I agree that the Europa will
(probably) float, but that's only with the wings on.  What are the chances
of an ideal landing on 4ft waves *and* keeping both wings on?  I wouldn't
put money on it, especially when we're talking about the English coast or
near by.

Cheers,
