"In 1997 an Emerald Budgie out of STN aborted after rotation, the end result, everyone walked away, what might have happened otherwise does not bear thinking about."


I witnessed this event, ended up in the grass off 23. It was carrying the Leeds United Football team if i remember rightly?
Definately seemed a good decision to me bearing in mind the engine damage sustained.
