Just a couple of things that I noticed from this side of the pond..


'The tower controller requested an inspection and an unoccupied Sunwing Airlines van was found with the engine running, engaged in gear'....


Which seems to imply that the vehicle had automatic transmission, and an ineffective handbrake. Surely these type of vehicles should not be left unattended with the engine running... EVER...


Also the non-standard ATC Instruction to 'Pull Up' does not seem to be too wise for an aircraft already in a high nose attitude, nearing the flair and stall.
