Thanks Old Fart for the tip. I was thinking this info must be available on the web but I´ve google´d it to death and nothing appears to show up. Its the WWW, it must be there!!!

Come on guys, I´m 8000 miles away in a Southern hemisphere winter, missing the English summer, the airshows and the 108 flying.

I think she displayed today at Sandown – any pics anyone? Always freaks James out (her jockey today) when I tell him what shirt he was wearing. He hates the internet so has no idea how I´m able to tell him his choice of dress, the weather, who he followed blah blah blah…

Thanks!!

Oh go on could you use a Piper Tomahawk. Trying to find a very small silver lining to what would be a very dark cloud…

The terrible thing is that this is possible. With low investment (rent a flying club aircraft) you could bring down a packed 747 over central/west London. I’d like to get a professional pilots opinion on it and see if its dawned on anyone to think up a “best course of action in this situation would be…”

Steady steady then a last minute pull up I guess. Risk damage to the underside/UC rather than risk losing the cockpit area / tail…

Hope we are the only people to have thought of this..

I guess any aircraft on the ILS would not only be warned by Heathrow approach of an “intruder” but I guess they would also see it creeping up on their TCAS. Question is if a 747 with all the bits hanging out could get itself out of the way fast enough. I’m sure it could out run most traditional light aircraft in fairly short order if they pushed the levers forward in a hurry….

As for reaction time for a Tornado, well I’m not even sure where the closest operational base is from London?

Good point, I hadn’t thought about the news choppers. Like you say its sure to be a knee jerk by Old Tony to be seen to be doing something at least.

We just had the conversation here – chilling thought but if you wanted to bring down a 747 over populated London then all you’d need to do is buy something fast(ish) and chase said airliner down the LHR 09 ILS for a mid air. I fly all the time into and out of LHR so I shouldn’t have these thoughts. Same as that light aircraft that had the mid air with the 727 I think in LA..

Ooooh a TRA, that will stop them. Blowing themselves up is one thing but I’m sure they wouldn’t be happy about breaking an aviation law before they do it..

Seriously, it begs the question “what happens if an aircraft is within the TRA?” I wonder if there are some ground to air somethings hidden?

Ooops – getting off topic I guess…

You are right.
Probably its natural human nature to see what actually happened, I was glued to sky news yesterday looking at the events unfolding in London, I’m not a very squeemish person but I did find it very upsetting, it was my dearly beloveds birthday yesterday but it was a most miserable event. I don’t know how I would cope with an incident at Legends this weekend bearing in mind that my attitude towards mankind at the moment is at an all time low, you’ve put me off going.

Oh God Pete, I never intended to do that….

Taylorman,

Did you see the images of 9/11?

Pete,

If everyone took your stance, we would never see any images of an event that resulted in a loss of life. Not saying you’re right or wrong, just making the observation. Also its just ever so slightly off topic again as I think you’re really exploring your own feelings about distributing these images, rather than how you fel about seeing them.

Any which way, its a tough one. Thanks for your contribution..

Guys, you all make good points but as Steve says just a little off topic. The question is how do we deal with images of disasters / crashed aircraft…
