flown-it,
You're quite right. Gave a whole new meaning to 'lost an engine' as it came off the pylon and lay on the deck. Wish I still had the photos...
We used to sit by the side of the runway having done all the checks to open it (a very long-draaaaaawn-out process) and watch the fun. Concorde, the 1-11s, Tridents and the old 737-200s seemed to cope pretty well, but the 757, brand new then, seemed to give the crews tremendous trouble, rock and roll all down final then bouncing from one leg to another, often resulting in go-arounds.
The Autumn gales can only be just around the corner...
