Wednesday 29 October at 11:45am, BBC1 will be showing “Close Calls”. It will feature the fascinating story of how the CO of the Royal Navy Historic Flight made the Sea Fury emergency…
Last heads up 🙂

Also interesting to note that retracting the u/c is a bit like putting a car into neutral. Really?
Nah, no clutch pedal…

Watched this and had to check I hadn’t inadvertently tuned in to Daily Mail TV. Good effort on the part of the driver (airframes) but I did notice one serious omission – at no point did anyone mention wrestling with the controls to avoid a school/village/monastery/brewery. How can he be a hero pilot if he didn’t wrestle with the controls?

I watch that programme. Nick Knowles will probably grate on most people so I look forward to the comments afterwards.
