Learned contributors,
Following the recent E.U. ban on Kam-Air (Afghanistan ) DC-8 operations I found this on another web group
"Other EU officials warned the problems went deeper than just safety regulation,
citing a Kam Air flight that struck its tail on the runway upon take-off from a
British airport in August.
Britain investigated that incident and imposed a ban on Kam Air's operations
using DC8 aircraft."...........................................................
Does anyone have a link to this report I can't find it on the AAIB website.
I also understand that some years ago a Middle Eastern or African registered DC-8 series 60 was involved in a take off overrun at East Midlands airport causing some damage to the grass and airport equipment. I can not find any reference to this incident either.
I would appreciate any details you can add to clarify either event or especially a link to an official report.
Thanks for your time and trouble.
Be lucky
David
