My two pennys worth is
It was one of the longest runways available nearby and so logically they went for it
I am 99 percent sure the Main bearing on the engine siezed and moved forward and siezed the engine
I am not a pilot so I dont know these are just my opinios
all I can add is that the A/c had performed a demo flight 4 days prior to the accident at Biggin and was flown by 2 diffrent pilots both very experienced and senior in the company the only defect that was found was
The Tape player in the Cabin did not work (They were ****ty ones anyhow)
The rest of the aircraft was 100 percent servisable all maintenance was up to date
it was a random failure on the engine which resulted in a fatal accident
The wifes and children of the 2 Crew have had 12 years to try to get over this please lets not put them thru this digging into history again as they are trying to re build there lives
any comments to my reply to this forum ok BUT LETS NOT MAKE IT A MAJOR ISSUE
