Everyone makes mistakes, even in a jet that is supposedly very clever! If it was even his fault?!
Why does everyone get so wound round the axle over something that they have probably only seen parked at an airshow or called a GR4 by a defence expert in The Sun.
Even as a fellow pilot I cant atually give 2 hoots if it cost x million quid and wrote off a pod! Did the guy survive - yes. Excellent. If we need more aircraft/pods for Ops Im sure we will buy them anyway. The money is spent already, stop bleating.
Dont give me the tax payer line as Im bored with that too. I dont exactly notice the decrease on my payslip so again - bzzzzzzzzzzzz. Flippant - yes.
Isnt there more important things going on in your life than starting rumours on something you clearly know <1% of actual facts about. Just a question.
Oh well. Other than that this topic is reeeeeeeeally interesting.
