Is there a thread on this somewhere?

Flight Lieutenant Nathan Jones, 34, fractured his back and was left with several other injuries after the incident and was medically downgraded.

He told the hearing how he crawled along the ceiling to wrestle back control of the plane, saving the lives of those on board by steadying the Voyager aircraft after it was sent into a 4,400ft-dive in just 29 seconds.

The court heard he was initially pinned to the ceiling by the sudden dive and had to be carefully pull back the controls for fear of "snapping the wings off".

How are you supposed to guess from that thread title

While Jones was 'crawling along the ceiling to wrestle back control of the aeroplane', where was Townsend and why did he not recover the aeroplane?





(Anyone else think of Bananarama?)
