Someone forwarded this on to me today also. I found this equally interesting as the way the article read regarding this was a bit strange:

Yes, 'twas I with him that day in the Winjeel. A little over-dramatised perhaps, but that's essentially what happened. However, what he neglected to mention was that the sortie mission was spinning, for which he had been adequately prepared. It wasn't like I just decided to get him into a spin for the heck of it on a nice sunny day.
Over dramatised seems to be a common opinion which is a shame given that the story itself would probably be dramatic enough without the little bits of embellishment here and there.
