The one flying something that looked like a red and white drumstick making a funny whistling noise...
You sure about the actual squawk, btw?

The Typhoon pilots should do a Whip Round to give the guy a Tenner for getting them some Jolly Time!
Sure you've never made a mistake while flying ? Then you get to put the bill through the letterbox of the helicopter pilot's home - but only if you've really never made a mistake in the past.

He posted this in the Professional Pilot Training forum in January:
I'm Rick and i've just very recently got bitten by the bug! to cut a long story short my family have never really been interested in aviation and neither have I. I started dating a girl and her family are aviation mad. Her dad has a ppl and told me he'd take me up. That was 4 months ago and i think he now regrets it as i bug him to take me up now every spare second haha! The thrill of flying is nothing i've ever felt before and I started studying for my own ppl already! i've been very confused about what i want to do with my life and since that first flight i now know exactly what i want to do.
My family aren't exactly the richest and I don't really have the greatest job so it will take me a long time to save up the required funds for the professional licenses. How old is too old to start in this business? if i save like made i will have enough to qualify me at roughly the age of 35. would i be past it at this age?

Great article, my favorite bit:
Didnt read much after that... for those that did.. were there many "I thought i was gonna die" s?..
Richard Coglan, who was in Bath at the time of the incident, said: We saw the Eurofighter [Typhoon] circle the helicopter at very slow speed using full thrust just to stay up.

I think there is a bit of humor in that he was in the bath when it happened... as if we care.. its borderline TMI...

DBC. It's very simple .... the guy in the bath was eating the drumstick while it was still attached to the chicken, causing the chicken to squawk so much, it caused a typhoon. OK?
