Nice to see things degenerating in the usual manner!

I think one or two of us here were trying to politely point out that sticking your tail into a crane whilst landing, is not something to be taken lightly. It is only the fact that people are so adament that it's a non-event that has prolonged the thread. Reference to the Spar was to try and educate those who were ignorant of the event, or remind those with short memories, of what the true potential of this incident was. Looking at the witness marks in the fenestron shroud just highlights how close to a different outcome this latest incident was.

Let's wait and see if the AAIB feel there are parallels to be drawn.
