Birdstrike at MAN
At Manchester today for a couple of hours and couldnt help but notice a Monarch A330 that, slightly before rotation, started to make an awful noise which did not sound good at all...The aircraft continued to make this noise whilst climbing and sounded extremely dodgy and like it was struggling.. Word from the aircraft to the tower a couple of minutes later was they had taken a large bird into an engine........would it not be normal procedure to return after an event like this??????
