My goodness but that chap who was camping had a lucky escape...

Does the convention still apply that the pilot will now (and for evermore) be known as "Sparky"?

I knew a previous Sparky, a long time ago, who took out some power lines in Norway while chasing a dog down a road in (I believe) his Sea King. Unfortunately, he also took out the tail empanage and ended up in a rather deep snow drift and subsequently, rather deep something else. True.
