Jade Goody???????????
There won’t be much food left after that flight!
It says a lot about their hopes for the show that it’s on ITV2, does anybody watch that channel?
It sounds c**p so the wife will want to watch it.
Have you noticed that on all of the Airport based reality shows they don’t go anywhere near the engineers?
Before anybody thinks of sticking me on T.V. as handsome as I am, I have been known to use the odd bit of “Sailor language” when provoked. I fact when not provoked as well! Their “Bleep” machine is going to get a bit a work out with Ms Goody onboard any way.

For Bomber Command “Staying alive” would be more appropriate. 55,000 died and no campaign medal.

It’s a “Tragedy” that the people of Bomber command are not more highly thought of by the “Children of the world”

I also noticed that the tyres of the rear right gear were absolutely deflated. I am not too sure if the sudden breaking caused this or the engineers did it themselves.

The brakes would have been very hot due to the rejected take off. This would have caused the wheel assemblys fuseable plugs to melt and let the tyre pressure out in a controled manner, rather than the tyre exploding. Dunlop made a training film back in the fifties were they heated up a wheel untill it exploded. Nasty, thats all I can say!
The engineers would not have let the pressure out of the tyres because that makes the aircraft immovable on the runway/taxi way and that is a pain in the a**e far all concerned!!
Hear is a picture of some deflated wheels we had after a “High energy” stop I attended. This blocked our runway for two hours.

We were as popular as… You can Imagine!!!
Thanks for sharing your experience with us
