...I think you may find they had a hydraulic failure which led to the 'event'...
...also, for those of you who don't know Jersey too well, he was nowhere near the end of the runway, the cliff OR the golf course...
...entire event occurred within the airfield boundary and was really a 'non-event' other than the guys did a good job to get it down safely...
(I will never get a job with the press if I keep on like this!)
