My comment was in anger over the fact that the aforementioned idiot chose to attempt to create news by connecting two unrelated incidents and thereby somehow implying MFC (who are a very responsible operator) were in some way implicit in the engine failure. So perhaps it doesn't scan well but it doesn't escape from the fact that the guy is unquestionably an idiot. Good club, decent aircraft, engine failures happen and the pilot should be applauded. Unlike the chap who landed his microlight in a tree next to a golf course in Dundee, who was a !!!! pilot that got himself in trouble and failed to find the fairway.
Agreed! In my opinion the hack who wrote that sensationalist piece has demonstrated the worst side of journalism! MFC are a highly professional operator and such irresponsible news reporting does the club no favours!
