Suffering a stroke while flying a plane would generally lead to disaster, however Jim O’Neill survived the experience with the help of the local RAF base.

While the RAF practice sheparding regularly, they are generally helping lost planes, not blind pilots. The fact that they could all work together and get the plane landed safely, despite the sudden problems of the pilot I think demonstrates how fantastic our armed forces are, and the benefit of good teamworking!

For many people maintaining a classic car is half of the fun in owning one, and thankfully you can easily obtain Mustang parts to keep your pride and joy running smoothly.

The first generation Ford Mustang, a 2 seat mid-engine roadster, was released in 1964 with one of the most successful launches in automotive history. In the first 18 months over 1 million cars were sold. This first model was later followed up with a 4 seat edition which won an intermural design contest. The 1973 model was a much larger car than the original, though this caused some concern from fans. This process of complaints from customers resulted in a much smaller model being designed, based on the Ford Pinto. Hence the second generation Mustang was produced in 1974. This allowed Ford to compete with the new smaller sporty import coupes of the time, such as the Toyota Celica.

While not originally designed as a performance car, through to the mid-70s the Mustang was used in the Trans Am Series, while today it remains a popular car for drag and track strip racing at both amateur and professional levels. You can even find the Ford Mustang in many computer games today, in fact the XBox has a Mustang Racing game which purely uses the different Mustang models from it’s 40 years history. The Mustang is now in it’s fifth generation and is still a popular car, having under gone 2 major redesigns in it’s history.
