Foldie - just caught up with your post #100. I well remember the RHAG incident. That week I was on Duty Crew and as we looked out of the windows of our remote dispersal near the end of the runway we marvelled as your mighty mount ground to a halt whilst at full chat.

During another stint on Duty Crew I remember someone who insisted on being obeyed making a night landing with, shall we say, symptoms of the parking brake being applied. You know the sort of thing - lots of smoke, the stench of burnt rubber and showers of sparks as first the locked wheels and then the brake packs were ground away by the runway friction course. That was another exciting recovery and I seem to recall a lot of time being spent before a defect in the braking system could be found.
