Here is another from the archives. Citation C550 ll, G-JETB, Southampton Eastleigh on 26 May 1993. Arrived early before opening hours and in a heavy thunderstorm landed with plenty of wind up it`s six on a wet rwy and made an unceremonious exit sideways onto a carriageway, collided with two cars and well and truly demolished itself and the cars in the process. Fate did not require payment in lives on that occasion.

The captain had accumulated 16700hrs and his FO 1322hrs.

The full report is at:

Now, does this not make you wonder as to what the rush was all about. Perhaps for some it is necessary to prove over and over again that go by air is the quickest way to get there and no matter what get there one will.
