Dave,

I'll have to look into that, I'm not sure why we didn't originally go for her as I've only recently had a pier head jump into the job!

Pleased th pilot was OK though must have come as a bit of a shock when he realised what was about to happen.
'The pilot was the only person on board and he walked away from the incident,' said a spokesman for the county's fire and rescue service
