Would one of you gents like to tell the tale about the Phantom in reheat, dragging the RHAG behind it in the circuit!
Thanks

As its a good story and nobody has come up with more, I will tell what I know.
We were on a visit to Brunei.
The Air Attache was "HP", sadly no longer with us, lost in the St Athan collision.
On his wall was a picture of a Phantom, nose pitched well-up, low level, reheat, hook down & towing a mass of debris!!!
I asked what had happened.
and IIRC....
On short final with an emergency, ATC had raised the approach end barrier on them, rather than the stop end!
With the emergency, they were headed for the RHAG anyway, so the hook was down!
The result?
The spectacular picture mentioned above.
Surely you guys must know the story and be able to flesh it out?
Anyway, 'tis true, was told to me first-hand.
