I agree with snarlie. I feel for Jim, he is often taken out of context.

Just when you thought that things could not get worse for Mr Ferguson - Shell Management sticks up for him! Case closed.

Ejector seats are made like a Swiss watch
Some are self-winding while others have to be wound-up!

Post the CHC 225 ditching Jim is at it again! In a BBC report today he is quoted as saying that unlike the May Bond incident this aircraft actually had a cracked shaft! Presumably he is unable to read AAIB reports because if he could he would see that the Bond aircraft also suffered a cracked shaft ... In light of this he may want to retract some of the statements he has made recently about the bond crews spot on actions ... Will the BBC please stop using this ill informed amateur!!

I think helicomparator has sent a note of complaint to the BBC.

Yes, and if everyone else did too, it might have some effect...

Sadly the Beeb only listen to who they want to and, as you know HC, I was familiar with JDF in the old days so I know how inaccurate his comments are...........

I'm afraid I would have to disagree. Would I by spending a period of time reading medical books and hanging around hospitals, have the moral authority to pass myself off as a medical expert - not at all.
Bravo!

I have used the BBC complaints system online and by phone. The phone call only takes a couple of minutes and I encourage everyone with an interest in the industry to give it a go. The man is a complete idiot.

I've just made the phone call, as cyclic says, a few minutes out of my day, and hopefully if enough people take the same 5 minutes, we can make a difference. He's damaging the industry as a whole!

The industry doesn't need his help to do that...

Sadly its' still on BBC On Line.

The man is a Walt and its time that his source of license payers money was withdrawn.

Hopefully the BBC, and the rest of the media will read this thread and see how professional helicopter personell see him.

Added my complaint to BBC Complaints on Line.
