OK - lesson learned!
Bu**er! |
One does wonder about the press - this gave me the best laugh this week:
A fighter jet was scrambled to fly alongside the stricken plane and the crew talked him down..... ......The RAF said a fighter plane used for training pilots was sent up to intercept Jim's Cessna. It had been modified so it was able to travel at a slow enough speed to fly alongside the Cessna. |
Just saw this reported on Sky News. The Cessna was a "Cessna jet", the graphics showed a Citation, and although the Tucano was reported as such the graphics showed a P51!! :hmm:
|
BBC website now has radio recoding of the last few minutes.
|
From a civilian MEP pilot to the RAF: Jeez guys, well done! listening to the audio of the talkdown, I can say i was truly moved!
|
Nice one Gervaise (if you're reading this!) :ok:
Saved a man's life and possibly someone else's on the ground by your skill - hats off to you! |
OP
BBC NEWS | England | North Yorkshire | Blind pilot guided to land by RAF now has an interview with his son |
Awesome. Well done gentlemen/ladies involved.
|
Superb bit of PR for the RAF - the CFI made it sound as if he does that every day. Not forgetting that he was flying his own aircraft at the same time, I imagine :ok:
|
:D cracking effort! Finally something to make us all proud of being in the RAF amongst all the doom and gloom.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery - you're not going to be short of stories in your local after this one. |
Well done Gervaise,
Bloody good effort, nice one mate! Ivor:D:D:D |
I try and avoid gushing unnecessarily as a rule, but I have to say this was a stunning piece of work. I hope the guy makes a full recovery.
|
Did my training at Linton on Ouse many moons ago. Its great to see that professionalism is still around. Well done to all concerned.
|
Absolutely well done to the team that helped him down:ok:, however I think that we should also salute the gentleman concerned who showed remarkable composure given the circumstances that he found himself in. I hope that I would act in such a way should it ever happen to me.
|
You could say it was great foresight! I've already collected my coat....

Standards
Just seen it on the ITV News.
1. Stn Cdr was wearing his poppy on the wrong side. 2. The hangar floor was a complete and utter state with the cameras there! So much for contractorisation ..... no Sqn WO. What is the RAF coming to? |
A clean hangar floor or a guy's life saved. Your choice.
|
Great job! Talk about cool under pressure...
|
Well done.
All concerned are a credit to the nation. With so much bad news around just now it's good to hear something positive. A speedy recovery to the pilot of the Cessna.
Well done again to all....time for some beer!!! :D |
Outstanding to all involved :eek: :ok:D:D:D:D:ok:
