Started watching the coverage live on Sky, but then got very angry when the commentator started yacking half way through the reading of the names of the fallen. Switched to BBC, and calmed down again.

I don't know any of the relatives, so cannot assume what they would have thought, but the insensitivity certainly had me reaching for the blood pressure tablets.

Have fun. Don't crash
(which has worked for me on harriers, jaguars, lightnings, hawks, hunters and a fair amount if civil machinery - today was a stark reminder that not all are so lucky)
