As for this incident, absolute respect and total applause to the crew who must have had a brown trouser moment few of us are ever likely to experience and to have got the machine and themselves safely back down when their minds ( and imagination ! ) must have been somewhere, anywhere, else when they heard the noise of the fuselage ripping and could only hope the flight controls were not damaged....And, for you non-freightdogs, at 01.10 when your levels of alertness and concentration are not at their best no matter for how long you've been regular night flying....
Hussar two thumbs up for that.

DaveReid .093 that's it. I knew there was a 8 something in there somewhere, but I couldn't remember what mark it was.

Chris what does that give as prop RPM at a climb of 14,200 engine RPM? I'm no wizard at math.
