It could hev been worse......
I am greatly relieved that this engine problem and emergency landing happened so near to base and that a suitable runway with fire crews were available. (And appears to have been well handled by the crew.......)
It could have been so much worse had an emergency landing not been possible very quickly and I shudder to think what would have been the outcome had V-RA (the Canadian Lanc) had a similar experience in transit to the UK last year.
The crew's only option then would have been to ditch or bail out.
I hope the damage is not going to be either too costly or too long to repair and hope to see her flying in 2016.
