Perhaps if he was able to tell the difference between a Beech Duchess and BE200, he wouldn't have got himself in the situation he did.
Sorry Tim, you've made yourself look a complete tit.
Nitnak?
Are you saying TM looks like a "complete tit" because he couldn't identify the difference between a Duchess and a BE200.
If that is what you are saying, then I think it reflects more on you than TM.
Personally, I'm not an aircraft spotter, and I don't know what either looks like.
If you are refering to the situation TM got himself into, then I wouldn't agree either. We ALL have made mistakes....to err is human. Fair play to TM for having the courage to admit to it in public for nobody's benefit but OURS. Most pilots would have just said nothing in public, and noone would have had a chance to learn from it.

Well done.
