    I’ve seen a lot of input from eye witnesses that I know (Flyer Forum friends) and the best estimate is that it came over the threshold at around 600ft on a runway with an LDA 200 metres or so over that required for the aircraft at MAUW which, of course, this one wasn’t at

    Is that pilot speak for `bad approach` ? 🙂
    I’ve watched the jets land (there are some larger jets based at Blackbush) and generally they come in quite low.
    Prop jobs tend to come in almost at head height, at least it seems that way when you stand under the approach!

    Exactly so. I think the OP might not have been aware of all of this otherwise I doubt he would have posted.

    No I didn’t. I was interested on principle that anyone connected, however remotely should be restricted if for no other reason `politics`.
    It’s a little disconcerting to hear that name on your doorstep.

    What happens if the top of the Helicopter is alight?

    Possibly a Beech 18 near Camberley 2pm today.
    Twin tail configuration. Certainly looked `Beech` like.

    It’s true. It seems that for some people their life isn’t complete unless the room they are in has a television flickering away, often largely ignored in some corner or other.

    We own one set. It is hidden away in a chimney alcove, and turned on (Never before about 7.15pm – except wet weekends) for specific programmes, then turned off again.

    But we all get our enjoyment in different ways, so I guess if repeat second rate dramas, ‘celebrity’ programmes or (god preserve us) breakfast television is their thing, who am I to carp?

    TV is no sadder than frittering away ones life on a trivial internet forum?

    I’ll probably give the new show a chance and see how it goes, but I think the problem will be how to pitch, deliver the show?
    The original Top Gear was a motoring programme but got stale very quickly. So they turned it into a comic car show with Clarkson and gang. It works, to a degree. But not because of the cars.
    If they create a new show will they make it a serious car prog or a comedy one?
    Serious car prog = boring. Comedy = irrelevant.
    I bet most will watch repeats of the old Clarkson trio until something else comes along.

    Give James Mae more money and do some more `Maes incredible stuff` shows. Like the one where they sent Action Man into space. Epic!

    Makes you wonder how fast we need to travel to start exploring. Speed of light is just too slow.

    I don’t have a problem with advanced ticket sales providing the venue states this at the start.
    Old Warden was unfortunate in that they stated no admittance without a ticket after the venue had sold out.
    I’m just glad that I purchased RIAT tickets this year!
    But come come RIAT an admin fee for purchasing tickets that you print out at home?

    That makes three Hurricanes this year. Just goes to show how many are currently airworthy.
