One jet, a light plane and a helicopter crashing in the local area in the past three years or so, is making people a little jumpy around here. Personally I think that I have more chance of a bad car crash than being hit by a plane and yes I will be at the air display in June.

What still gives me a cold shudder from some 17 years ago, is seeing a 747 pull up over the tail of what looked like a DC9 (rear engine job). The 747 was in the Biggin stack and I think the DC9 was out of Heathrow, I have never told the wife.
I started to believe you until the last few sentences.

The helicopter was no where near Farnborough. What light plane are you talking about? And as for the rubbish about the B747 and the DC9!!!

Sorry but you just made yourself an 'unreliable' witness.
