STN? PIK? around 1976

Something like that about 30 years ago at Stanstead, possibly PIK, BA 707 doing a check flight with Engine Failure on Take-off.

Story I heard was that the instructor shut down (to idle) an engine on one side, but the pilot under training, or being checked, hit the rudder the wrong way. Then (so I heard) the instructor/check-pilot realised what was happening so brought the engine back up at the same time as idling the one on the other side, as the Pf reversed the pedals.

Can't remember if above was in the official report, or just the story "going around at the time".

Anyway, the aircraft was written off (fire, fortunately right outseide STN's fire station) and fortunately no injuries apart from a damaged ankle from the evacuation.

"Correct me if I'm wrong!"
