British Airways pilot Rick Craft, from Binfield, spent over four decades flying commercial aircraft.

He told 大象传媒 Radio Berkshire's Sarah Walker about his most memorable moment, when he was forced to save his plane from engine failure en-route to Montreal, Canada.

Rick Craft, former BA pilot:

"This probably was the nemesis of my career, and the thing you practice for all the time.

"As we were coming into Montreal, coming in the opposite direction was a flock of Canada geese, and we took out about sixty of them... this was a once in a lifetime sort of event.

"My career was defined by eight and a half minutes.

"One of the engines wasn't doing too well, it had fifty feet of flame coming out of the back of it."
