ACW 335,

One of the Cabair fleet??
There are several schools that regularly fly in the area with such logos, On the day I was, and still am, convinced that it was from a school that I Regularly hire from. But given the fact that It was just a passing glance and some blurry video footage I shant make my consideration public.

On another note I just heard on the radio that the pilot's excuse when questioned by ATC was "Sorry guys I'm having a bad day"

On the one hand I know that we are all human and in my heart I can't really beleive that any aircraft commander would ever put himself and his pax/machine in danger yet it seems that on this occasion I just can't work out how such an error could have been made.

Even from the very edge of the restricted area it would have been possible to see the thousands of people packing the beaches and surrounding land. The tens of huge marquee's and the several static aircraft. Closed off areas of road and stalls all along the seafront from right down the end to the peir. There was a whole flotilla of boats and lifeboats there.....but what has happened is over. The pilot will get a sever telling off and possibly more for what was...probably..just a simple error.
