The crew were unaware of their mistake, by the time the aircraft came to a standstill, they had worn a flat spot on the belly and stayed wings level. Reports from ATC reveal that the crew intially reported that the brakes must have seized on as they were unable to taxi off.
It became clearer when a fireman walked up to the canopy and knocked on the perspex - 'Bloody Hell, he's tall!' thought the pilot. (The fireman wanted the pilot to stop revving the engines and perhaps shut them down.)
A few weeks on jacks in Canberra Servicing Flight with the Crash and Smash boys from Abingdon and she was back in service.
