And it was yesterday, not today.

Glad the pilot is not badly hurt.

They are a great bunch at Brownshutters.

Looks like a Tipsy Nipper to me . In which case , LAA'ers amongst us will probably get further details of it in Malcolm McBride's excellent column in the mag...[ Hate seeing aeroplanes looking like that ].

I see the standard of reporting hasn't improved much either. " Crews lifted the aircraft off its roof" . :roll:

To be fair to the journos, it says lift (not dragged) now, *and* they blurred the reg on the photo.

The forum seems to have stopped logging me out at random intervals. Perhaps they like me after all? (Thanks for fixing it) Our pleasure!

Fact is
a) You should accept that without those same journo's who somehow have ;skills' to cover every possible happening, you'd not have known of this so soon & be able to grizzle.
b) 'The roof' is a pretty accurate description if the a/c ended up inverted.

Pedantry thrives.
