Smudger552 are these photos in the public domain yet because I have a number of photos as well that seem to be doing the rounds. About 12 photos before, during and after.

On a related note.
Can't find the original thread where last year's Fairford Typhoon 'incident' was discussed, but there is a very clear video at the link below. I don't think it's been posted before - apologies if it has.

STM, it *was* posted at the time, but anyone trying to find the original thread would be hard pressed to locate it using the search function here. So I don't think too many apologies are required!
By the by, I've found that googling in the search terms one is hunting for and then adding 'pprune' to the end of the search string will usually get you to the thread.

Certainly does. Just go to 'Advanced Search' and request all 'Typhoon Fairford' posts within the past year and in a few seconds you can get what you want....

By the look of what is coming out of the jet pipes, the engines didn't take kindly to being fed ground up runway.
I would think the intakes and engines are going to be the most expensive things to repair in this case, perhaps they should fit castors under the intakes?

Got a very impressive powerpoint presentation of the landing in an email today which I've attempted to post, but failed. If someone could pm me with the instructions on how to do it I'll put them up.
Edit - Just seen Another St Evian's post (who clearly does know how)
