Aden accident

The F/E did not move the reverse arming lever into it's full detent position. When the captain called for reverse he actually received forward thrust. I think they tried to get reverse several times, accelerating each time, before running out of runway. The poor old Brit was a forlorn sight sitting in the mud off the end of RWY 27.
