Shorts 3-60 Jan '86 Pictures Please
This may sound ghoulish, but it's not, in view of the fact that most people were uninjured. On 31st Jan '86, a Shorts 3-60 of Aer Lingus landed short of the runway at East Midlands, due to icing conditions.
I'm looking for any pictures of the accident. The reason is that I almost had the same accident inbound to Manchester two days later. On boarding, our passengers were given complimentary newspapers, on the front page of which was an aerial picture of the crash site. Nice!
We departed Leeds/Bradford for Belfast, in a 3-60. When the aircraft wouldn't climb any more, despite TO power still being set, we requested an emergency diversion to Manchester. Crossing the threshold, the power levers were firewalled.

Thank you, Eckhard, just what I wanted. How did you find it so fast?
Rog 747, AirUK. It was based at LBA for a short while, but it's just not the aircraft for the weather conditions there, and soon the F27 was back.

A friend of mine, Carl Mason, died in a similar incident at Edinburgh in 2001.
