Adam
I used to Fly a Seneca Five twin into Denham (was almost its second home)
The runway is plenty long enough for a Seneca.
In fact I know of a couple of Citations which have been there (not me
it looks quite narrow from the air and with the lakes and trees off the one end can temp a pilot to land long.
This does sound like and element of panic! Both engines running rough! Oh my God i have to get it on the ground quick, brains fly out the window and aircraft flies down the runway too fast to late straight off the runway and through the fence.
really pleased no one was hurt
