Any one seen the news about the light aircraft that crashed at Southend Essex yesterday? The piot was 16, on his second solo flight!!!
So, it seems, you cant be trusted to ride a bike over 5occ at 16, but you can have a licence to fly a 'kin plane!!
While my condolences go out to all involved, lets not forget the fact that it came down in a park, it could so easily of crashed into the dense buildings of the area.
O.k I got my Gliding licence at 16, but we flew over airfields in the middle of no-where, a bit safer me thinks!
So go carefull you 16ners on them power bikes - you might just loose control and wipe out half of Birmingham, or London, or who knows, but you are more of a danger than a 16 year old pilot!!!!!!!!!!!!! U.k. government say so, so it must be right then?
