One of my colleagues told me of astory a few years ago. He was left seat in a Saab 340 going into Leeds I think but not sure. At about 200 feet a huge flock of gulls decided to take the props. They landed with a totally blood covered windscreen and both engines were knackered. Crews found... wait for it... 56 carcasses around the threshold!!!! Carnage!!!!!
