This is amazing a man has a stroke of sorts and goes blind while flying solo . RAF and air traffic bring him down.

thats really is

Well, I guess that'll teach him he should'a listened to what his mother told him would happen if he didn't stop "doin' that", huh Geoff?!

(...and to think he's had the lives of all those passengers in the hairy little palms of his hands all this time too, huh?!)

He calls the RAF piolots "Hero's".
But can you immagine how calm and detached from his situation he had to be.
He is a bit of a Hero also.

I think there was a Saturday night like that for me once but I was landing the bike in the garage...I think, I don't remember too well.
