Today is a double whammy event as on top of the Shackleton taxi we are also hopefully having a special display from the Vulcan. The commentator has just told us that no news of test flight and that if successful the display will be sedate unlike that at RIAT in view of location and new restrictions following Shoreham.

That is my assumption but do not actually know yet. Just hope they found what was wrong and it does not happen again today.

Sorry I don’t know but will try to find out. He is ok though.
Only one mistake I know of so far.

He has also said he will be quiet so we can hear the engines!!!

The event is so secret I would have to kill you if I told you.
Hint look for a new thread.

The way the commentator put it I thought was that they could not account for the indicated “loss” of fuel. Not necessarily a leak.

Reported today at Coventry that there was an unexplained ed apparent 2000lb loss of fuel which is why she returned to Doncaster. System checks have been carried out with more this morning. Could not confirm that she would be coming today.

Whether it brought concorde down or not is not relevant to the point I was making. MikeJ posted that the Vulcan should be grounded before a bit fell off. I made the point that bits fall off modern aeroplanes and gave an example.

That I thought that the piece of metal caused the crash was based on the conclusions of the final report of BEA which can be found herehttp://www.concordesst.com/accident/report.html.

I certainly know nothing about it at all but from information within the conclusions of the report there was nothing to suggest that the plane would havery crashed if it had not hit the piece of metal. The report addresses some of the matters you mentire but state that these factors in themselves would not have resulted in a crash.

Clearly you have different information and I would be grateful if you would point me in the direction of it’s source so I can read up on it.

Thanks

Ok what ever you say that still wasn’t the point. The point was that a bit fell off a modern plane whether it caused an accident or not.

Latest news on twitter at 9:30pm is that further tests will be required in the morning and a further report at 12:00H.

To me this sounds promising for display tomorrow let’s hope so.

It’s about time they parked the bloody thing for good, before something critical drops off and someone gets hurt.

And you are basing this on what exactly?

I do indeed, that’s why my next transatlantic flight in a few days is going to be 1) by Virgin and 2) in a 747

Just remind me now what brought the Concorde down?

I think the point being made about the Concorde accident was that it was “something critical” dropping off another aircraft which punctured the tyre. And the actual debris didn’t puncture the tank, it set up an internal shockwave which burst the tank in another place. But that’s nitpicking.

Lazy8 has it basically. My point was to Mikej that bits have fallen off of modern aircraft and caused a major accident. If that bit hadn’t fallen off then there would not have been any accident the sequence of events that followed is irrelevant to the point being made.

Sidcup wasn’t like that then.

Then we moved to Bromley. Mind you I wouldn’t go back and live there now. Need to move further out still.

Hope all goes well for you and the team tomorrow.

We will be there.
