Any idea who Darren Sharp is in this clip from the BBC:

Shoreham pilot 'had to make a tough decision' - BBC News

Biggest load of tripe I have ever heard in my opinion. It seems Mr Sharp thinks that the aircraft was put down on the A27 on purpose as he had lost power instead of going for the airfield. Seeing as the runway was clear at the time of the Hunter display, then there would be little point in not using it and going for a busy major A road!

Where do the BBC find these so-called 'experts'?!!! I hope they didn't pay him!

I heard him on Radio 5 yesterday. They also had a "respected" aviation journalist (David somebody) who said something like "No publicity is bad publicity" in the context of airshows continuing and people attending. Better just to STFU.
