Captain Marvel

THERE but for the grace of God go all of us.

Yesterday's narrowly averted disaster at Heathrow is a stark reminder of how often our lives are in the hands of others.

BA pilot Captain Peter Burkill has rightly been hailed a hero for the way he
glided his jet into Heathrow after its engines failed.

His and his crew's calm professionalism almost certainly saved hundreds of lives.

BA ground crew have said Capt Burkill deserves a medal "as big as a frying pan."

They are wrong.

Cool-headed Capt Burkill and his colleagues deserve medals as big as the Boeing he so brilliantly managed to land.
