I recall G-FURY making a mess of my approach at Waddo ... overheated motor after a long pre-departure hold at display location [Somewhere near Grimbsy] apparently, leading to a very large air brake at the front when it seized..

All crashes are bad, but 'classics' are worse.

Curiously, Spenser Flack and I were in adjacent wards at Nocton Hall [for unrelated issues] shortly afterwards. I chose not to mention the subject, or indeed my role in getting him onto a stretcher.
