If I have any concerns, its that we are likely to see "Pilot crash lands only 2 miles from Benfleet housing estate" headlines in the weekend's papers.
This is also my main concern, I in fact had this after a forced landing after my engine stopped in a Tiger Moth during aeros - I had picked my area with this in mind and had an ideal field straight away - police arrived just before I got my engine going again and the details I gave them were broadcast on local radio that evening -with of course the medias usual exageration- I SHOULD have made a complaint but did not, what it did do was put me off calling in if I should have a problem again (in fact I will probably call it in but make the point to the police that I WILL officially complain if it gets in the press).
