very good on weights, but I would suspect that Dayna would be below
weight.
70-odd kilos is about 9stone I believe. Yeah I think Dayne was probably under that.
If it was Dayna and Avon, would Avon sacrifice himself knowing that
throwing Dayna off
(assuming he could) wouldn't be enough?
I think possibly. Avon I think has the kind of nature to think that calmly and logically even when faced with his own death. I have trouble seeing him as the self sacrifing kind though, even for the most logical of reasons. I can see him chucking her off and spending however long he had left trying to find something to make up the weight.

It would be a LOT harder to get Dayna out the airlock than Vila though. It would be really funny if they kept tripping over the herculaneum paperweight thingie during the struggle.

No, no. He's *more* pragmatic than that. He'd continue tossing stuff and encouraging Dayna to help toss stuff until he figured that they gotten rid of [70 kg -Dayna's weight.]
*Then* he would have pushed her out.

Why didn't Avon realise that they had returned to the Liberator in the shuttle once & so it had been tampered with?
