😮 In a word “No” but made my remark to highlight the fact the pilot was probably smiling just glad to be alive after a harrowing experience.When peoples lives have been threatened with a near death experience and they survive ,a lot of what they had previousley taken for granted becomes more precious than ever and the pilot was smiling because he knew his own life compared to any amount of money could not have bought him his good fortune.

Its nice of you to reply to my remark and bring to my attention your undivided knowledge on this subject but as in the case of the man who survived an atom bomb test I dont want to know the quantum mechanics in the phyisics department of how costly it was in learning how to split the atom only to think in the end it was an expensive way to blow the planet up anyway.(All a bit irelavent if your not on the planet).:) ;):rolleyes:

Are you aware of the issues with the Thielert Diesels and the vast money pit that the owners of such aircraft are facing?

I’m glad I dont measure happiness on the smile per pound ratio as I’d be broke and would’nt be able to say to some its not money that counts at the end of the day.;):eek::cool:

I doubt I would have been laughing…

If it was still fitted with the Thielert Diesels then I would have been grinning like a Cheshire cat at the thought of all that lovely insurance money.

Don’t you just love reporters;

“Fortunately he came out laughing!”

I doubt I would have been laughing…

At least the pilot was ok though
