I bet those involved won't forget that in a hurry. Kudos to the pilot in being skilled enough to gain control.

We had a low level fly-over of two AH-64's this morning. They were headed pretty much NW so may well have been heading up to Otterburn Camp in Northumberland  where the army has an extensive training area.
