Just got back from covering Fire+Rescue at Elvington.

I've got to admit we didn't hear anything about Cessna's but there was a lot of talk about the microlight and a few people mentioned the glider. Word on the street is that the microlight pilot is to be fined £2000 by the CAA and be grounded for a while however I personally don't believe this rumour, i can't believe the CAA would dish out a penalty so quickly.

I have heard however that the air show organisers are planning to sue the pilot and knowing what they are like they probably will!

The Red Arrows did do a superb display today (along with the rest of the aircraft) but with the weather not being as good today as it was yesterday it would have been nice to see the full display.
