Interesting ! Take Off from Norwich.

Very nice looks like a pretty hairy take , i bet thats not the only wind that was getting gusty;):o with that take off

Well Done

TWR. ….. So where were you 🙂 ?

Safely on the ground, best place to be 😉

Interflug62M. I don’t think it was overload, RPM ? well only the crew will know that ??? I do know they had proplems starting the engines ! and were rushing to keep their slot !!!
Most of the losing of height appears to have started at the intersection with a disused runway ???? no protection from the cross wind offered by trees etc ?????

TWR. Thank you for that nice comment ….. So where were you 🙂 ?
sorry I have no more photos following those above my attention was drawn to the fire crews doing a scramble !!! which makes me think others also took this situation as a serious problem !!
The next few seconds, as I am sure you know, saw the aircraft scrabble to a better height and drift away into the sunset to live happily ever after ????
if a little soiled :diablo:

Keith.

Thanks for the pictures Keith!

The wind was 360° / 18Kts at the time. It certainly looked like it was not going to end well from where I was sitting! Do you have any pictures of the next few seconds?

Thanks,

TWR

Thats a scary bunch of images Keith. I wonder what the problem was. He looked a gonner. Gives an outward appearance of being overloaded or an RPM problem……just a theory.

sycamore, yes he made it ! and the few people watching with myself also discussed the change of underwear situation !! The wind was almost at 90degrees to the runway ! I think my position (about 500mtrs to the right of the threshold ) at 09 may distort the photos of the wind sock position, which is much closer than the 27 end of the runway where the action happened !:confused:

Keith.

Assuming he made it,I`ll bet he`s had a change of underwear….looks more like a strong tailwind……
