... which came to a stop at about 200 ft AGL

That's the one .. and there we was sat in our Friendly with both dog whistles screaming away at wet power ... going nowhere .. and, as I recall, we weren't at the RTOW for the day. Engine failure ? .. didn't want even to think about it.

Talk about putting the wind up two pilots. Almost enough to cause a crew to be moved to praying to the Almighty for succour. I don't recall if either of us actually got to praying .. but there certainly were a few inappropriate quasi-religious invocations uttered as we watched the bumpy bits sail past at window height ...
