"This story, publicly broadcast to millions, was ripe with over sensationalized and ignorant statements such as " a horribly dangerous stunt" and "of over 300 mph". News footage was then accompanied by video of the slow, high pitched lazy flyby - a media embarrassing contradiction!"

Yeah, our fabulous media!
For their involvement Ian Wilkinson was sacked rather than for acting dangerously. Typically for the modern manager generation is that they are all wimps when media are involved.
And for what – for a dumb public which is getting distracted by the next sensation anyway.
Shame that there are some “colleagues” whose first idea is to cite SOPs and other books. May they always be successful in hiding behind some books!
