RD,
When I first read the title - the Flying Gas Chamber - I though it was all going to be about you.
To me the article scans well. But its credibility - and in turn yours - depends on:
1. Whether the Birmingham incident ever really happened.
2. Whether it was reported correctly by PE.
If it did happen it must have been the subject of a CAA incident report which must have been circulated to all operators. So if anyone has seen one or has a copy, could they please post here.
