Not very clever, but the Exeter Airport say it will land at 00.15. Why not call Air Mediteranee at 335.34.48.20.00 or Exeter Airport at 01392-367-433?

Edit. They are also expecting BE706 from Newcastle at 00.15, so I guess the airport is open.

When o when will somebody paint that stupid smirk out?

Don’t you recognize the ‘come on’ look?:D Come and GET ME quick!:)

How about a link if possible please

Link for the video or the crash?:confused: Here is the crash link, not a pretty sight. When you hear of write offs, this can usually be taken with a pinch of salt as the engineers work miracles in Alaska and South America, but this one doesn’t look as though it will receive the kiss of life. QTM file will be posted at the weekend.
