Sounds like a terrific job by an enterprising young lady who had the balls (figuratively speaking) to put her career on the line to help save an idiot.

Q. What would have been the reaction of the top brass had the pilot speared into the radio masts? Great shame kid, you had a bloody good try?

A. Nope! They would have hung, drawn and quartered her for breaking every vectoring and terrain clearance rule in the 552. Ask Spot. And the journos would have portrayed her as a tattoed punk who should never have been let within a mile of a control tower.

Well done Anne. Just be very, very careful in future. They'll get you if they can!
