PILOT MISTOOK ROAD FOR RUNWAY

COVENTRY: A pensioner attempting to land a plane on a road after mistaking it for the runway.
An accident report says he only noticed his mistake when he hit a speed bump, reports Sky News.
The pilot believed he’d found the landing strip despite noticing “a kerb to the side and lamp posts to his left”.
The accident happened during a solo flight from Coventry, the monthly bulletin from the Air Accidents Investigations Branch reports.
“When close to touchdown, the pilot noticed that the airfield was different from what he remembered,” it states.
“Shortly after touching down, the aircraft ran over a speed bump which caused it to veer left and leave the road.”
The plane’s left wing hit a tree and its right was almost entirely sheared off after colliding with a lamppost.

Town to have two extra days in a year!!

WEST SUSSEX: A town will have two extra days this year - thanks to a gaffe in its official calendar.
Crawley Council spent £5,862 sending its 2007 calendar to 9,500 homes - unaware May 28 is printed twice and November has 31 days.
It wasn’t until a resident of the West Sussex town called the council to point of the blunder that bosses realised, reports Metro.
Rosie Manton, 52, who received one of the calendars, said: “I didn’t realise the mistake at first, but when I went to put a note that it was my son’s birthday on May 28, I realised the council has put the date in twice.
“I can’t believe they didn’t check it before sending them out.”
A council spokesman admitted: “Obviously our proof-reading was not good enough. Next year we will get it right.”

GOOD SAMARITAN COUNTS COST

SWEDEN: A taxi driver who allowed three car crash victims to shelter in his cab was shocked when rescuers destroyed his cab to 'free' them.
Peter Andersson, 45, from Lulea in Sweden, said: "They had a few cuts and bruises and I let them shelter in my cab. They looked worse than they were.
"I went off to look at the wreck and when the firemen turned up, they pulled out hydraulic metal cutters and sliced the side off the cab.
"They said it meant they could get the people out without them having to bend too much, in case of neck injuries, they didn't realise they only had to open the door."
The taxi driver is now in dispute with his insurance company, who do not believe his story over the reason for the £30,000 repair bill. AGENCIES
