It will be interesting to see what observations/recommendations, if any, the AAIB make in relation to the stopend & overrun areas with "obstacles" in the vicinity of the airfield.
Had the carpark been empty, then the outcome may well have been survivable.
Well, thats clear before somebody starts writing. If the Runway/RESA would be bigger/longer/unobstructed, than it would be safer. VV, had the guy touched down with in the TDZ at Vref, all discussion...

Now, meanwhile, on planet earth airports are continuing to "grow in"...and bigger airports are harder to get into by the day (slots).

What evacuation briefings are given when no cabin crew are present on this size of private operation?
The same ones that a FA would be giving, just given by the dude that closes the door (at least in our case). Mind you, that I bet a months wages that 99,5 % of all passengers (VIPs or not) on a commercial flight catch less than 0.5% of what is said and shown by FAs on commercial flights. Unless big tits are involved, then the male part registers a tad more, but nothing that has to do with any safety related issues...
