Cutting canopies

Exrigger,

Sounds very reasonable in event of a bent airframe - I used to traipse along and photo' the Dunsfold Fire / Rescue team, who'd won awards & impressed the hell out of me ( difficult to film in a smoke filled room but I got other exploits ).

I should have thought there'd be a plan for cutting hoods, just

A; has it really come to that, re. cost etc,

B, The MDC which must be a worry on UK style a/c - I've flown in Hawks, and apart from being briefed to get out sooner rather than later, if I'd ended up on the deck in a bent airframe would have been very tempted to blow the canopy rather than have a chainsaw coming through at neck level - after all the chap with the saw might owe me a pint & be trying to get out of it !
