Re: News: Pilot Rescued Seconds Before Train Crashes Into Airplane In California

The time clock on the bodycam suggest that they pulled him clear about 5 seconds before the train struck, so it may have been less than 200 yards away as they pulled him free.

Astonishing courage shown by all present.

Re: TSR TSR TSR

Like wot Pete said, but he said it first. The roman numerals indicate they were pre 1950 odd too.

I recall hearing the Canberra being referred to as the TSR1 but no idea how definitive that was. My English Electric history is buried under Crimbo preparations.
