Al had better be sure about this character reference. Because if it backfires, he's going to look a right chump!
I agree 2 strops - if anyone told me they had just been in a helo flying at speed over the sea at 20 feet!!! for christs sake, just for the fun of it I'd immediately suspect a dodgy cowboy pilot.
One of these witnesses to the crash is lying, thats for sure...I know where my money lies.
