James and his Aeroplanes
Ellie Carter, Britain's youngest ever female pilot flew James's previous plane G-OCOK (around 17 at the time)
Yes, James, she knows this...
Engine Fail in G-OCOK
Compton Abbas Airfield
Uh... what?
The Decathlon was G-OCOK. The Scout is G-IIIJ. And in between there was a Cessna.
Bonus:
From the official accident report of James putting a Cessna upside-down while landing it at Bentwater Airfield in 2014.
"The pilot stated that he underestimated the severity of the gusting crosswind and had been unable to prevent the aircraft yawing into wind. He commented that the aircraft had a “notoriously big fin”, making it particularly susceptible to crosswinds, and that in future he would avoid landing in a crosswind of this magnitude."
No injuries, thank goodness, although I seem to remember James saying his passenger was almost hit in the head by a metal toolbox that had gone flying.
