Wing Commander Gerrard was fantastic,and so was the stricken pilot,I listened to the playback and was amazed at how calm it seemed.
I really think the RAF pilot deserves some sort of official recognition for his action.
Thank goodness the civilian pilot was near airborne professional help when it happened,but what would happen to the majority of us if it happened near home?
My wife asked me and I said I hope it never happens,we are near RAF and USAF fighter and freighter bases but these aircraft would not be suitable, I suppose they could use a helicopter,as we have these nearby?
