Morning Chris,
Regret you may be − understandably − barking up the wrong tree. I think the BAC 1-11 incident you remember was a Dash200; landing on Rwy01R in 1981, in almost calm conditions.
You are correct. Sorry for the mix-up between 01L and 01R
. Indeed it was 01R and the incident happened right in front of us while we were working on the appron at the Schiphol East hangar area.
Thanks for your detailed explanation regarding this incident. The only reference to the incident for me at the time was the press who in the papers I read and in the news on TV all referred to a malfunctioning reverser, I never read a copy of the final report. Having grown wiser over the years and having learned to take the press with a grain of salt regarding anything they write about aviation (and just about any subject for that matter) I stand corrected.
Regards,
