Strangely enough because my telephone no. is on the helicopter safety website I was approached today for comment on this by the press.

I considered it for a liitle bit, merely to try and stop some of the sensationalism and misinterpretation of some key phrases of the report I've seen today in the media but in the end I delcined for a few reasons.

1. I figured that if they want to know what the report means they should ask the people who wrote it, not someone else for their interpretation.
2. I know nothing about single squirrels.
3. Other than reading the report what more do I know than anyone else.

And that was pretty much how the conversation went.

I also have an inbuilt mistrust of the media, after an earlier incident that happened to someone else that I've spoken about on PPRune before.

Was I right or wrong ? I moan when the media get it wrong and then do nothing when given the opportunity to perhaps put it right.

Behind the closed doors of a safety evening I think will be more appropriate.
