It looks like the main gear is so tall and the nose so long that they got away without a propstrike. That'd at least mean only part of the day was ruined.







Edited after Post 7 to say ..... Ah well, I'll get me coat. (Thanks for the bigger pic 750XL) Maybe there's an aftersales opportunity there ? any spare Concorde nose cones about ?

[blind pew]

Looks to me as the props have rear facing winglets...:{

Looks like it's one of the Metroliners caught up in the furore last week of shipping Beagle dogs to Astra Zeneca for testing on...

The story going around here at present is that they had 600 live rats on board as cargo, I wonder were they for experimenting as well, would not be for pets thats for sure.

[JW411]

So, did any rats desert the sinking ship?

[Thunderbirdsix]

I reckon the emergency services approached it with caution when they heard what was on board.

[Cows getting bigger]

Are the passengers safe?

[Hangar6]

Two crew are fine flight is the monthly rat well mice run , a really smelly flight even on a good day still the resident hares got excited but no escapees so far

[justanotherflyer]

BinAir..... rather unfortunate name for an air operator, methinks.

[Tinwald]

So fellas, do we smell a rat?

[Lone_Ranger]

Karma.....

[TWOTBAGS]

I wonder if "the voice" was in command?:E

[Sober Lark]

Six hundred rats, that's a lot more rats than they usually have in an 18 seater.

"600 rats"

Was there an international airline management convention? :suspect:

So you've heard it too! Creepy, isn't it?

[mad_jock]

Nah all going to some lab to get experimented on.

Mind you there would be less of a fuss experimenting on international airline management.

[Sober Lark]

The sound produced in a person's larynx and uttered through the mouth, as speech or song.

Lads I'm curious. What or who is 'the voice' ?

P.S Jock. I'm relieved if its only international airline management. I had half expected another burger scandal.

[mad_jock]

I don't know but I presume one of the pilots has a very distinctive voice which puts the shivers up the controllers.

I "used" to yeply "ident you have" to an ident request and then discovered one unit had nicknamed me yoda.

[eastern wiseguy]

very distinctive voice

And how.......very very pleasant :)

[NSEU]

With so many rats, I'm surprised it wasn't a Piper and not a Fairchild (Metroliner) :}

Spot on. Not many concise, combined communications from controllers to "the voice" - some will make make multiple, seemingly unusual transmissions, like asking for POB, heading requests just to keep hearing...ghost whisper :oh:

[golfyankeesierra]

Lads I'm curious. What or who is 'the voice' ?
And is "it" a He or a She? (Edit: see that it already has been answered by previous poster)

Reminds me of the ground controller at Berlin Tegel (TXL) ground. Most pilots (including me) were so distracted when she was broadcasting that the whole contents of the message was lost on them. You always heard a lot of "say again"'s....

[fokker1000]

Did ATC notice it had happened, or was it reported from another aircraft?

No, sir. It was a convention of politicians. ;)
