Eastern Airways J41 at MAN
An Eastern Airways JS41 has ran off runway 06R at MAN There have been no injuries that im aware of. Runway is expected to remain closed for the next hour and should not cause many problems.
|
Is it possible for a J41 to overrun 06R? Even with no breaking methods I'm sure it would stop b4 the end!
|
Does it have to have gone of the end? perhaps the side?:ok:
|
Any more news?
Is there any more news on what actually happened??
Ps I know BA have cancelled 2 LHR-MAN flight due to the disruption. Jay |
Was working at the airport and heard the word "accident" used on the radio. Fire,police and usual mop up crew in attendence.
06R closed and single runway ops initiated. No news on the damage to the aircraft or injuries but the word is that this was the Meatloaf charter aircraft and that he was on board. (From a reliable source) Nil further Coop & Bat out of Hell Bear |

From the BBC page:
-------------------------------------- The Eastern Airways jet -------------------------------------- Hmmm, since when did a Jetstream have jet engines? KLM1087 which diverted to Birmingham has since positioned out to Manchester Fried Chicken |
To be fair, not all journos are spotters. If they call up and are told it was a jetstream then it's a fair assumption to make.
Mind you, they are gas turbines. And that's essentially a jet engine, isn't it?;) |
Must have been going like a bat out of hell !

but it will be gone when the morning comes;)

Well, even if the BBC got the propulsion system wrong, they had the airline and the airport right, and two out of three ain't bad:hmm:
|
Well, it looks like that aircraft is going 'Nowhere Fast'. Rumour is the crew weren't paying attention and have been 'Getting Away With Murder'. Luckily for the captain the F/O is very loyal, even exclaiming 'I'd Lie For You'. The passengers however weren't quite so chuffed and several were heard complaining 'Life Is A Lemon And I Want My Money Back'.
Thanks to Google, I reckon that's the end of this thread! :p |
Allegedly the captain,a Capt Love,was threatening some illegal manouevre after landing.
His hitherto obedient 1st officer snapped,took over the controls & deliberately skidded off the runway. He was quoted as saying: "I'll do anything for Love,but I won't do that." The End,except to say I hope neither of the pilots ARE called Love... :uhoh: |
Nutty!
'For Crying Out Loud' the Captain's training records: 'Read 'Em And Weep' |
I'd rather the Captain trained pilots than records....or am I missing "something" ?:confused:
watp.iktch |
;) That is indeed a trifle ambivalent.
It might suggest that bat.man had had access to the training records of the two (?) Captains who were on the flight. The inference might be that these records were not so hot.:ooh: :hmm: |
You took the words right out of my mouth! OK, now I'm struggling.:O

If you want to fellow ppruners, I have edited and corrected my post. It is: 'More Than You Deserve' but you are still:- 'Left In The Dark' |
Several hours later,one of the passengers returned to the airport as he discovered he had lost a pirce of hand luggage.
Thankfully,airport lost property was still open,into the small hours. So there he was... Midnight at the Lost & Found... :} |
