Thanks to Jackonicko for his kind words about my piece on Central News South. Sad to say, I've no idea what Jackonicko looks like. If he (she?) watches that news regularly, he'll have seen me doing something similar whenever there's a crash in the Central area. I often wish they would do some more positive aviation stories, because I'm almost always covering something dreadful. But at least on this occasion no one was hurt, and, as Jackonicko says, I was able to put the aviation point of view. Incidentally, I was in Uxbridge when they called me, and I arrived in the muddy field 2 mins before we went on air! Anyway, putting the aviation point of view is what I always try to do - and at least Central keep hiring me, knowing that I will usually try and restrain their more tabloid instincts.
Btw, one of my day jobs is commentating at air shows, when I can mostly be more positive.....
Thinks: must get beard trimmed - had forgotten how it sometimes irritates clean-shaven upright pilot-types
