Here are the facts. Brian Walpole landed at LHR with 10-20 mins fuel remaining. He , quite correctly realised he was CofG compromised and had the a/c towed ( so it wouldn't "bounce" and sit on it's ass ) to stand.He then falsified the fuel tech log entry ( real reason he was suspended) and had the a/c refuelled !! Any other pilot would have been charged with reckless endangerment.I have never known a subject that attracts so much sanitisation , I have not written about this for twenty years .
