Having enjoyed Tim lancasters company recently and taking the odd drop of refreshment with him i find these posts very offensive!
Tim is a fine airman, a good Captain and great character his acount of the incident is both imformative and extremely funny!
To have survived such an incident and still continue flying is a credit to the man in itself. He is currently still flying the line as an Airbus captain.
If some of you barack room lawyers had half his courage and charisma you would be trying to rubbish him on this thread!
This incident could have happend to anyone at anytime and up until this happend no one would have expected it!
These guys are hero's to have been there and survive to tell the tale. In my experience there are two types of pilots those that have made mistakes and learnt from them and those that tell lies!!!
By the way Tims impression of him trying to breath at 330kts and sub zero tempretures is worthy of an oscar!
