Thanks for the info and the photo location very nice.

The aircraft landed too far down the runway to stop so into the over shoot. The Captain was removed from flying duties and posted I was at RAF Marham on 55 Squadron at the time and a Hastings T5 from RAF Lindholme came to take the team to RAF St Mawgan and possibly bring them back. The 50 ton main jacks too a great deal of time to load along with a full set of wheels and brakes and the tail jack. The Aircrafts Crew Chief a Rigger had plenty to get sorted out, but it was on display as planned. Why the Hastings ? There was nothing else available ???????

Thanks again Roger Brooks

My pleasure.

Seems 715 enjoys having runway-related misfortunes…;)

Or maybe even the overshoot area?

Many thanks for picking up my spelling mistake I will change it
