Used to be a nice pub that when I used to frequent there… Done a lot of work to it since.

Would have needed a lot more if the Harrier had hit it!

How come i hear that a pilot and Co-pilot escaped ok.

It was originally reported by the BBC that BOTH crew had ejected safely and it was ‘breaking news’ story, after all. It even made the traffic news due to the road closure.
