Hi Exrigger, YES it was XX977, although after reading the official accident report and a personal report from the pilot it did not strike cables but the main mast (not even sure that tower has cables). Nitpicking maybe but just trying to keep the online record accurate.
Jenkins, I'm disappointed to hear of the reaction, I would have assumed a different response from fellow aircrew.
Still hoping for a 'before' photo.
