Thanks fozzer, I was trying to find it on the Bristol part, as Points West reported it

[Mictheslik]

it was a Gr.9 from Cottesmore, and was going to Fairford to be a static display (now it is a static display...just not at fairford ). Eye witnesses say that it hit a car directly, making it spin three times and crash into the hedgerows, the driver was uninjured and the pilot has been taken to hospital .

At least the most important part worked, and the most valuable part survived...

Blimey - Sky News are now interviewing a civvy private pilot eyewitness who as the interview is progressing appears to "know" everything about Harrier operating... (Apparently its quite difficult to glide land in a field according to him!)

[Mictheslik]

Well, that's a relief anyway. I just checked the Martin-Baker website. What a wonderful business to be in.

I supppose it would be.

I notice a motorist was involved. Fortunately doesn't seem to be hurt but I expect his car's a bit of a mess. I would like to see his insurance claims form.

The pilot gets to join the Martin baker club!! And he gets a special tie!

Just hope his back's OK. This could ruin his career.

"Rescue 125" Seaking from my local scrabled at about the right time i presume it was going for the accident

[Mictheslik]

I'm from Fishponds Waspiflab, and masmith is from long Ashton...so a Bristol contingent is gradually building up

the bristol contingent started with myself and then birdman, both of us from Keynsham. I have since had the common sense to leave, and Birdman seems to have dissapeared, which in Bristol means he's probably never to be heard from again.
