G-GSSC turned up here at Doncaster for an hours crew training doing five circuits. His second landing was a little too close for comfort on his port side. No re-surfacing necessary this time though.
In no particular order. Hope you like and thanks for looking
Cheers
Stu

PHEW THAT WAS A CLOSE ONE!!

Hey Cloud 9, you have just made me very envious. Shame the company has gone. Each time it turned up here I was always working so all photo opportunities were missed. You win some – you lose some.
Newforest – It is always nice to see these type of ‘incidents’ as long as they do not reach the next stage. Nearly had a Canberra on top of me in Cyprus – looked up and was looking at the cockpit coming towards me. Ran like hell and it exploded where I was standing. Unfortunately the crew were killed as they had no time to eject. One experience I do not wish to have repeated.
Thanks for the feedback guys. It is always appreciated.
Cheers
Stu.

Yet again Stu, you have managed to produce some sublime pictures…as dangerous as it may look, the second one is my favourite!
A while back, I had the pleasure of being on the flight deck of an OASiS Hong Kong 747-400 doing circuits at Doncaster. It was great fun.:D

These ‘incidents’ seem to follow you around Stuart! Good photos!
