97 yo driver causes crash

There are loads of pics of the Duke driving - I notice in some he is wearing glasses and in others not.

I wonder what it says on his licence.

Sometimes I wear glasses, sometimes contact lenses.

The Duke will be interviewed under caution.
The caution will be for the police officer conducting the interview. Ask the wrong questions or come to the wrong conclusion and you wave bye-bye to your career.

Ha. Do you remember when Prince Charles crashed that plane? The investigation found that the co-pilot should have seized control.

No, it didn't.

It found the pilot entirely to blame, with the navigator reprimanded for not pointing out the tailwind to him and alerting him to the errors in his approach path.

Thank you for trolling.


The 'pilot' was Prince Charles. The 'captain' was co-pilot.


From your link:

It is reported that the Board of Inquiry found the captain 'negligent' in that '(he failed) to intervene when the aircraft performance and limitations were exceeded in the final stages of the flight'.

Was that not what I said?

97 year old spotted behind the wheel of his land rover driving whilst not wearing a seat belt

Prince Philip has been spotted behind the wheel of his brand new Land Rover today just two days after flipping his car in a horror crash.

In photos taken today, The Duke of Edinburgh, 97, can be seen driving into the main entrance gate to the Sandringham estate on his own without a seatbelt on Saturday afternoon.

That car was not built like a tank, nor did it have armoured glass.

I used to design armoured vehicles for a living.

ah well thats good to know if your attempting an assasination, back in the 80s and 90s I worked for a company that supplied glass for royal and PMs cars and it used to take 3 blokes to lift them off the table (windscreens).
