Ammend operating procedures?

Not the first time this has happened.
An Air U.K. FK27 at Aberdeen many years ago had a similar one with a GPU the driver drove the GPU into the prop and lost his life.
A BAE748 of Channel Airways down in Jersey many years ago did the same as the MNG, started to Taxy before the all clear, prop strikes GPU.
Are these happening due commercial pressure?
Not enough ground handlers to do the start up?

From reading into these types of accidents GPU operating procedures should be ammended when aircraft are not on nose in stand parking, before someone gets injured or there is loss of life.

That picture is not part of the story but is ones signiture

Is there more to come?

No surprise to some of us , What else do they have up there sleeve down in the West Country?

Three in a row?

Interesting one.
The Pink Lady has attended our show for a number of years now, although there is talk she might not be around for air Show 2008, she might still make it.
There is also talk that the Sally B would like to attend the same show.

To sum this up it could happen that all three might be able to attend?

What a great line up if this can happen?

Looks like a great time for all was had?.

Nice shots whish I could have been there.
Nice to see the classic flight is alive and well and good luck for to 2008.
Could some one answer this question please the Dakota parked next to the Hunter looks in one piece will she be going back into the air in 2008?
Which one is it as well as you are unable to see her registration.
Look forward to seeing a number of the Classic Flight around next year a hopefully a trip to see them in 2008.

All very well the aircraft looks good to some on the out side but I do think they need to get to grips with the flight management system.
The indications it gives is not very helpfull in certain air traffic areas.

She arrived under a De Havilland callsign (DHC05) which is why it seems a bit odd, if she is for engineering why was she not useing a Tissili Callsign?

All i can say i can see both sides of the story
