Yebbut, Google's crap though, innit! I used my All Seeing Eye and a bit of telepathy...

They managed to write almost as much about Harry as the crash, even though he wasn't involved

It'll be interesting to find out what actually happened (yes, other than an Apache hit power lines).

I have some insider info. It seems that an Apache from Wattisham Airfield hit some power lines then landed in a field nearby so any damage could be assessed before recovery.

Exciting stuff isn't it.

Christ, it was worse than I thought. Thanks for that VG, but wouldn't you be better off contacting the papers and making some money from your "insider" knowledge instead of giving it away for free here?

I have to admit to a minor sex wee when I read it...

What happened to the good ol' days when Tornados and Harriers would smear themselves all over the countryside?

**STARDUST** · 22-02-2012, 20:06

Useless cunt pilot-power lines are fucking big- RTU the wanker.

**vvaannmmaann** · 22-02-2012, 20:06

Do we have any Tornados and Harriers left?

Call out the Monkeys, VG has gone all Julian Assange on us. Next thing he'll be saying that morale is rock bottom. His insider knowledge could bring us all down. I've probably said too much...
