An Air-Crash That Wasn’t!
This story is a typical case of making a mountain out of a mole-hill. It is headlined.
2012 Olympics plane forced to land at Cambridge
But all that happened was the aircraft had an electrical failure and they had to use maps and compasses to get home. If the pilots couldn’t have handed that, then they shouldn’t have been flying. It also looks like they had to land without three green lights to say the undercarriage was down. But did the pilots fly past the tower for a good old-fashioned visual check, with a pair of binoculars? If they did the check didn’t seem to have given the right answer.
In my over thousand hours of flying,I’ve had a few three greens problems, but all ended safely with one of my usual landings.
But then all planes are designed to take this type of incident.

About This Blog
What this blog will eventually be about I do not know.
But it will be about how I’m coping with the loss of my wife and son to cancer in recent years and how I manage with being a coeliac and recovering from a stroke. It will be about travel, sport, engineering, food, art, computers, large projects and London, that are some of the passions that fill my life.
And hopefully, it will get rid of the lonely times, from which I still suffer.
