Of particular pride should be the paragraph near the end:
And here is a pictuire showing the cars stopped, with the aircraft in the background.

Gimli came up in conversation the other day....there must be someone on here now who was there on the day?? I have friends who were at the dance hall to the left of the pictured broken airplane who came out to see what all the fuss was about...
Who spotted the near silent glider? was a warning radioed through to Gimli??
I like this quote from the story...Sports car club had fire extinguishers galore, Jaws of Life
