Come on dave , we've all done it 😄😄😄😄😄.

What do you reckon his new nickname down the pub will be ?.

I'm kicking off with old planeless.

Well, at least nobody was hurt, not sure his insurance would pay out though.

Same thing happened with Jaymo ...only on a much larger scale

Imagine trying to explain that one to your insurance company. You'd sound like homer simpson 😄😄😄😄

Presumably it crashed in to the sea, not heard of any fishing boats missing though.

Did it not say that in that link ? Strange comment from the AAIB ,,,, even in the building game it's wrong to presume 🤔 Could have ended up in Denmark 😆🤣

Sometimes what goes around comes around. Reminds me of an RAF technician based at a Norfolk airfield. He was forever slagging off the aircrew for whatever reason. Come one Monday morning he hadn't turned up for work when the phone rang. Seems he'd gone on a hang gliding pilots course. We're ringing to let you know we have him here in case you're wondering where he is and possibly AWOL. Where is here? Xxxxxxxxxx hospital. What's he doing there? He crashed on landing. How can you crash on landing? Apparently he forgot to put his legs down until it was too late and he's broken both of them.

Don't want folk to get the wrong idea so out of consideration for a possible member, I won't mention his trade.

Look.. I got up to take a pee and ‘accidentally’ knocked the handbrake off. 
Little was I to know whilst on the bog, that we flew half way across the globe. 
Besides, I told you that in confidence when you were confiding your love of the ‘ginger one’

You might very well think that; I couldn't possibly comment.

what about a few years ago when the ground crew were fiddling about and one was pretending to be a pilot and the ejector seat went off....think it killed him
