I'm not quite sure what this thread is supposed to be getting at. Yes, the Arrows get a fair bit of banter from many, but no-one should doubt their flying skills.
If there was a problem with braking - as the news item suggests, then the pilot obviously took the appropriate action, it would seem.
I remember landing Hawk XX283 at Dunsfold on 6 Jan 81. Right place, right speed, right technique as the QFI in the back confirmed. But the runway was damp and when I tried to brake the little $od maxaretted for thousands of feet - only turning the anti-skid off and braking very carefully stopped the beast. Now, if there'd been 8 others on the runway ahead.......
