Well it was going to have a lot of difficulty catching fire.

Damn that looks like G747 Allan Wardills Raftor. I did a TIF in that one. It was lovely to fly and he was very accomodating. Sad to see it like that, but glad he is ok.

How many cop cars does it really need?

 

 

[Roundsounds]

Any idea if Allan was driving?

 

Given the reported age I’m guessing not?

I heard was low time pilot and blades where unloaded in someway causing a oscillation then power was applied to go around then blade hit tail and nosed straight in . Very lucky was at low lever .

Will it be reported as a Cessna crash?

 

 

[turboplanner]

I don't have that as long as they don't report it as a Cissna

One little gyrocopter - 3 fire engines 9 cars a tractor and a golf buggy. Bit of overkill maybe?

Well it's also one little life; the extras probably came out for a look; better than the other way around though.

I'm was being a bit facetious, but just to be argumentative

The best "Code Blues" ( in hospital emergency - usually cardiopulmonary arrests etc) with the best outcomes are where you have just the team that's needed and no-one else. You get too many people in the way, too many chiefs etc. and it all starts to fall apart. Everyone either wants to take over or everyone thinks someone else is doing the small but important stuff that gets forgotten.

 

I have worked in places where we had an " once the team arrives - unless you are on the team - get out!" Rule. Sounds brutal but shown to have superior outcome.

 

I have times where I would like the crash cart (essential equipment trolley) to have a set of those stainless steel pillar/posts with the pull out webbing like you see in airport queuing areas. First task is to set them up to keep everybody out!.

 

This guy would probably have the best management with one ambulance vehicle with the one crew of paramedics and one fire truck crew.
