29th Oct - BBC Radio 2 Phone in
Jeremy Vine is asking listeners to call in if they have ever been scared by the pilot's flying in a helicopter that they have been flying in. (After the report on the RAF Puma crash)

The Jeremy Vine show is the "Daily Mail" of the airwaves.

What an utter load of drivel and mis-information. Vine owes a major apology to those of us who earn a living from flying helicopters. What an utter C***.

Listened to the broadcast and it would seem that we are constantly striving to find a new low in sensationalism. The radio host obviously knows very little about helicopters and some of the pax that called in, even less.

What a prat - "Opens with "it killed the twelve crew on board" - he later corrects this, but that's what will stay in many people's minds.
