Slightly alarmist!

Thankfully, it did land at Cottesmore in one piece. ;-)

the news here says it had a fire warning, but on landing at cottesmore, no fire was found, probably an electrical fault.....


lets hope and if it was.....AWESOME

I heard a rumour from a friend of a friend who works in the local chip shop near cottesmore......

The pilot had a crafty ciggie..... :worried:

OK maybe not but nice to know she flew again....

Yes, thankfully seems like it was just a warning light...If it had been otherwise, the CAA would be having second thoughts... :worried: :$

Cheers,
Aye. The landing at Cottesmore was planned as it is there to do a compass swing (which was why it was rumoured to be going to Waddo late last year).
