Yes Karak - and the only thing vaguely amusing about the DPO incident was that the Fireys who had been recently disbanded and redeployed when the unit was closed were having their farewell pissup in the Fire Station when the 340 speared off into a drainage ditch.
Naturally they scrambled out in their own vehicles and on foot and did what they could.
I stand to be corrected but believe the reverse pitch on the starboard engine was U/S and logged as so but the skipper inadvertently engaged it on arrival. Its is apparently a "go withable" unserviceabilty. I am sure the flight would never have departed if it was not.
The good news is that nobody was badly hurt in either incident.
The fireys, who loved their jobs and were a great bunch still have a smile over the prophetic presence after they were told they were not required.
I am sure many of you will remember the guys.
Best all
