Is there any other sort?Well many years ago a Manx* cargo aircraft clipped the corner of the Mothaks factory as it appproached Speke Airport and crashed on top of it. Sadly four people were killed, two in the aircraft and two in the factory. Having said that, had it been a few minutes earlier then the death toll would have been horrendous as the factory would have been full of workers.
* I'm pretty sure it was a Manx aircraft, I apologise if I have got the wrong airline, but it was flying in from the IOM.

Police are searching for a short humpbacked runway with a severe case of unpredictable wind.:E

Very pleased nobody was severely hurt.

Wish they would open the airport (properly) on the holy sabbath.
