I don't know if anyone can help but I have just come back from EDI-EXT and we were coming in to land. Airport empty no aircraft on runway at all. Landing gear came down, we were flying low then all of a sudden we climbed and banked steeply, landing gear went up, we turned and were banking majorly over EXT before we descended, landing gear came down and we hit the tarmac rather hard. No explanation from flight deck so anyone at EXT got any ideas??

Could have been a number of things. Not happy with the approach, a slight tech problem or indeed ATC could have sent them round, something on the rw or birds etc. Maybe they didnt have time to say anything. If they were going round into the visual circuit they would have been very busy with check lists etc. We do try to keep pax informed but only if time permits. Hard landing, well, thats the Dash.

Better than BHX then, as EGC has gone between November and
early March and it then fits in with the new ABZ & Galway flights.
BHX has gained an extra rotation to Brest compared to last winter. It did
well last winter for twice a week, must be more second-home owners
than I thought .

FLYBE and it's new "hanger"
It’s always bugged me to see spotters/aviation enthusiasts and the odd aviation professional refer to aircraft hangers instead of hangars. After all, if aviation is their hobby or job, they should know better. So I was quite astounded to read an article in FLYBE’s June/July inflight magazine refering to the opening of their new “hanger” in Exeter. Sack the Editor!
Edit: This was originally submitted as a seperate post. The moderator decided (IMHO quite wrongly in this particular case) to bung it in here right in the middle of an ongoing discussion/debate relating to a completely different issue!
