We hit a bird,
We landed on a football pitch to avoid damaging farmers crops,
We knew exactly where we were down to a 10 figure grid,
We landed in a village so small and insignificant that it was just a nameless blip on the 1/4 mill, so we asked a local the name to give the sqn along with the grid.
A passing Chinook herd our radio calls and landed on to see if we were ok,
We were,
We had no evidence of a bird strike,
We continued with our sortie,
We were above 100feet,
We had no engine fire,
We are not based at Wattisham
We are gorgeous.
Priceless!
