Those same fire crews might save your life someday so lets not go poking fun at them even in jest
Unless you are one yourself and about to put in a claim for 30% while baby sailors/soldiers/airman do the job .....
You may be able to see how the 'crash resistant seat' has done its job very well. Also that despite the machine thrashing itself to bits, the (student) pilot was in the pub the same evening! First serious incident in (probably) more that 130,000 hours of student flying must speak volumes on the overall standard of instruction and supervision!!

Hey, Oldbeefer,
I was a bit concerned about you when I heard it was a chap in his 30's!

...not just tales of 'derring do' in the bar. I understand that he entered the pub where his course mates (and matesses) were, to a spontaneous standing ovation. Big respect!
Just glad the squishy part of the aircraft survived relatively unscathed - metal is easily replaced or fixed, after all.

Is a female mate not still called a 'mate'?
Or was that some overly cautious attempt to avoid any labelling as sexist?
