your a tit short of an udder sir!
as for your claims to working in Aero Enginineering…..lets just say you shouldnt give that up to become a spell checker.
to call an operation like TC a “backyard garage” operation smacks of ignorance, stupidity, arrogance and a total lack of knowledge in what is involved in maintaining an aircraft.
By your own reasoning, a commercial jetliner is “far too high performance” a machine to be operated in private hands!!
Personally, i think that when you can boast the first hand expierience of maintaining an aircraft such as the Lightning for a decade with an almost flawless safety record you should refrain from embarrassing yourself further.
Sir, you have put a smile on my face, never has a paragaph on this forum been so apt!

have to say, I laughed more at the responses on here than I did at the video – I laughed mainly at it because it reminds me of the time i got my mum on a similar ride – my mother screamed a lot more!
Having just got in from a night shift and had to deal with 3 fatal car accidents and more horrible domestic incidents in one night than most of you hear about in a year, im going to bed, still chuckling at the video that reminds me of a good memory.
