May I just clarify my understanding? A GR7 pilot makes a pretty serious error in judgement resulting in his aircraft sustaining “some damage on the fuselage” (and possibly escaped lightly) and it receives 22 posts on this site, mainly in a flippant vein. A Movements Tradesman applies the well-publicised regulations, and despite not knowing the surrounding facts (availability of manpower and other aircraft movements to name but 2), the same tiresome nonsense gets aired here. Hypocrisy anyone?
As for those who compare military and civair reporting times, pop into BZZ and volunteer to join the under-resourced shift to stack the vent in a VC10. I would suggest that with our ageing AT fleet, lack of manpower and inadequate resources, the 2 timings are blatantly incomparable!
Rant ends!
