Yeah, I'm a bit confused, too. I mean he definitely shouldn't have made that manoeuvre given his altitude and whatnot, right? And he decided to anyway. So how is he not culpable?

Well, according to what I've just read, he claimed 'cognitive impairment' (?) and the defence even brought up 'hypoxia'.

Christ. My natural sympathies, as you can imagine, are with the pilot; we've all been there, we've all pushed on a bit beyond the envelope because, you know... but fúck me, what he did was fúcking miles beyond sensible and that defence is risisble.

He destroyed a fine aeroplane and potentially endangered the lives of other display pilots on the ground. For that he derserves some sanction.

He also put members of the public at risk. Why do you focus purely on other display pilots on the ground?

I give not a flying fart for groundlings. These appalling, crawling beetle-like creatures are of no interest to us Sky Gods.

Could being horribly pìssed not come under the heading 'cognitive impairment'?

I think he at least ought to have gone in himself. Surviving that mess is very poor form.

I once watched a chap I knew, although only vaguely, kill himself at the Biggin Hill airshow when it was obvious from about a minute in to his show that he was going to crash. His flying was all over the place. All the blokes watching from the pilots' tent were screaming at the ATC liaison to get on the radio and tell him to land, so apparent was it. By the time the officials decided to act he'd made a great big hole in the apron. Boom, as it were. The answer had to be drink, drugs or carbon monoxide poisoning. Had to be. I'd spoken to him and was convinced he was sober. I was sure it was a CO issue. The PM came back absoluely clear. It's still a mystery. :shrug:

No lab results until next Thursday, s. Doctor is convinced it was a tumour but not the nasty spreading type. We'll wait and see.

You don't get to display second world war fighters at major airshows if you're a shít pilot, sw.

Indeed, if you're a shít pilot you generally don't stick around very long at all.

This'll cheer you up. Thon Karen Danczuk sort (for whom I believe you held a dirty liking) has gone fans only on twitter and is now charging subscribers to see saucy pictures of herself. :hehe:

Actually, that feed is hilarious. It's full of blokes who have clearly been spannering one out whenever she posts a picture of herself and are now outraged that they are being asked to pay for the privilege. :hehe:

It's also basically an allegory of the publishing industry in the age of the internet. :-(

May I ask who the fúck she is?

Her fame does not appear to have stretched to here as yet.

Nver mind saucy b, for that kind of money I expect the woman's legs to be at 10 to 2 and to be able to see her very guts.

You would, h. However, the sad cases who follow her are clearly happy to feed on less substantial scraps in their pursuit of onanistic Nirvana.

He is a spotter, h. But worse, he is the kind of spotter who claims that he is going to get a licence one day.

These people should be subject to a restraining order.

I am going to refrain from mentioning that I posted a link to Karen Danczuk's twitter feed and you then disappeared for 20 minutes. :sherlock:

Lols. I went into the office for a couple of hours this morning and now 8m far to shattered to consider Karen’s assets.

A likely story. I hope you've at least washed your hands.
