Getting some news through that paddy has had an off in his hang glider

Though serious, it's been described as not critical

Thoughts with him and family

Didn't see the post on fb before here.

He is certainly living life to the full at the moment .

I am glad paddy is still with us, Always smiling and a very kind man.

My thoughts are also with Davina too. Also a lovely person.

Wishing him a speedy recovery.

Likewise - it didn't pop up in my facebook feed.

Anyway Paddy with your hang-glider were you:

* Flying as the newest member of the Malaysia Airlines fleet?
* Did terrorists storm your cockpit?
* Did you hand over to a co-pilot with a death wish?

Here's a clip to tickle those broken ribs ....

Blimey - that doesn't sound fun at all. Hope he makes a quick and full recovery.

Pass on the best wishes for a full and speedy recovery if it helps I am prepared to imbibe grape juice of varying qualities

I don't know who Paddy is but I'll join you in wishing him a good recovery.

I used to have a boyfriend who'd been into hang gliding and given it up - he said all his mates had had serious accidents and he reckoned it was going to be his turn next, so he sold the hang glider and took up photography!

Well, crap.

All the best for a speedy recovery!!

I don't know Paddy either but I wish him well. Anyone who trusts their life to a triangle of nylon stretched over some aluminium tubing deserves respect.
