I don't think they can hold in contempt what they believe doesn't exist to start with, Colin...  !  There's a long poll on Virgin's home page, with most contributors (the spelling!  The grammar!  The apostrophe abuse!) agreeing that he shouldn't go, on the grounds that he'd attract unwelcome attention to his own troops.  One chap made a sensible enough suggestion that he and his crew could have been lined up for other duties some place else, though, where perhaps the targetting mightn't have been quite so likely to be determined.  It's no good pointing out that Prince Andy flew in the Falklands conflict, since the Argentinians hadn't vowed to specifically try to kill him.  They needed to keep him going so their officers could be invited over to play polo at Cowdray, let's face it!
