BBCi report (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/oxfordshire/6194366.stm) but was able to land at Kidlington - incident seems to have taken place in the evening of the 28th Nov.

According to Thames Valley Police (http://www.thamesvalley.police.uk/news/default.asp?dismode=article&artid=8927) the incident took place at 1915 28th Nov.

70 feet above ground ??? Somebody could be in a spot of bother if that is true...

i guess they were trying to build hours on the line.

ok fine.

Shocking experience no doubt? :p

Ok I'll get my coat. :(

:ok:

I'm a regular pilot in and out of Oxford and I can't possibly see how they could have hit the power cables unless they were carrying out some very very low (and thus breaking noise abatement procedures) approaches on to 19. Sounds foolish to me.

Watt were they thinking?

Come on ,Never heard of "Fly by Wire"

Well I didn't start:=

Was he current?

Someone could be charged !

Was he trying a glide approach? Did he cut the power in more ways than one?

...coming in that low, no doubt he had to 'volt' the fence!:p

Hat, coat, door...

C23

Cricket, go ohm.

Yup I bet that Hertz...

I dont think you guys are 'conductive' to the seriousness of this incident...

Maybe there was a lot of resistance to the landing

Anyway I bet they will be Charged

Must've been a hair raising experience!!! :ouch:

Sounds stunning to me!;)

Electrifying thread.

That other forum is twenty four hours ahead on the puns.....:hmm:

Did he get into the circuit?

That one!

Did he get into the circuit?

funniest without a doubt :D

I'm positive he was trying a short circuit to the terminal to get ohm in a flash. An electrifying story, but I'm not phased by as it doesn't happen with much frequency. Lets remain neutral and not spark controversy. I bet the pilot was a bit of a live wire. Is he grounded now? I'm sure he'll solder on somehow, and it won't be of much potential difference to him. I'm switching off now.

Smarty pants!

There is always one :ok:

Hello all
Would just like to say that this thread was without doubt THE funniest ever..
Had me in tears, keep up the good work.
Glad the pilots walked away mind, it would have been a very different thread otherwise.
What were they playing at?
