bad ground markers,I had the stick right over and the wing wouldn't lift.
BQ came in behind and did exactly the same thing,so we had 2 T21's out of commision. We filed it with White Waltham and they thought it was only one accident as they
were exactly the same write up.
I remember talking to Jacko on the phone explaining what happened for the longest time,
he didn't believe that it was wind shear off the side of the hangar.Fun times.
Doesn't beat Fred F in a Mk3; there was still daylight between his wheel and the ground as he went through the hangar doors one evening!
