The admiral's exploding fondue set

Found this on the Telegraph's site

Perhaps they should have stuck with a chocolate fountain?

 

I do hope however they make a best a recovery as they can. Burns are a bugger… =(

 

What a terrible accident. Julian Oswald is a real gent and one of the nicest men you could ever wish to meet.

 

Having experienced several examples of Admiral Oswald's genuine concern for 'the troops' when he was CinC Fleet, I too am relieved that he and his good Lady were unscathed. I hope those injured make a swift and complete recovery. I haven't seen our fondue set for years but am grateful that it relies on meths, not butane.

 

In the Daily Mail, is a photo of Admiral Oswald with his dress sword in hand anybody know why :thanks:

 

If you read the Telegraph link you'll find the answer ....he left it on a train once and offered a reward for it's return.
