Résumé
The MD 83 registered F-GHED was cleared to take off from runway 27 at Paris Charles de Gaulle. The Shorts 330 registered G-SSWN was then cleared to line up and to wait as "number two". The controller believed that the two aircraft were at the threshold of the runway, whereas the Shorts had been cleared to use an intermediate taxiway. The Shorts entered the runway at the moment the MD 83 was reaching its rotation speed. The tip of the MD 83's left wing went through the Shorts 330's cockpit and hit both pilots. The MD 83 aborted its takeoff. The HTML version is not yet available.
