Excellent news that the pilot was unharmed. I liked the very British understatement of the PA announcer on the film clip when the aircraft tipped onto its nose, a simple 'Oh dear'. I can think of a few other countries where there would have been much shrieking and babbling. Top marks that man

He also seems to come from glass is nearly full school of optimism as he can be clearly heard telling the public that the aircraft will be 'back in the air in no short time I imagine'. I'd be very interested to know what the estimated time will be for repairs to airborne
