I do not mind how much risk you take I just want Chiefs of Staff and politicians to recognise it. Good luck with your flying.
No arguement with that old chap - just the constant moan on here about everything being somebody else's fault. As i said before, not wishing to compromise anything but i really don't think foam would have helped in this instance.
