And now in lighter news - 'Biggles Saved My Life...'

[kea001]

from the article linked below.... "Last night a relieved Mr Hagedorn, of Chelmsford, in Essex, told how a childhood love for the Biggles books “saved his life". He said: “Captain W.E. Johns saved my life. As a boy, I remember reading a Biggles story where he was shot down over enemy lines and was flying over a wooded area. He managed to “pancake” the plane sideways into a tree, which minimised the impact and he walked away unscathed."

He said he could not land on the fairway because there were too many trees.

I've always been under the impression that a golf course would be an 18 runway airport for a microlight.

Glad he's ok.
