Luckily the pilot not only survived, but was concious and responsive :o

Crop Spraying......one of a long list of very dangerous jobs.

I hope that the Pilot recovers completely.

At least the pilot is okay, planes can be replaced, lives can't!

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!
