There is a way of linking direct to YouTube, that also gives a preview picture.
The code is something like this, but the code would have to be activated by the PPRUNE website guru.
WOW, that is some nearmiss!

Wasn't this played out for a flight safety video they were making?
A couple of things suggest this to me. The tower controller, ground controller and local assistant surely wouldn't all have missed this and should have issued a go around? It looks like its at a fast jet base so there must have been a caravan controller, he should have been watching the circuit and should have warned the tower and fired off a red flare.
If all four missed it then there is something very wrong

Oh it was genuine alright. Shemy has the size of it. I am surprised the experts here have not picked up on the obvious.
The F3 on the ground at Coningsby, my boss, OC Ops, was the pilot was waiting to take-off on a routine 56 Sqn OCU sortie. The GR1 from Cottesmore, also with OC Ops as the captain was making an approach and high overshoot to Coningsby RW 26. The runway controller, later my flight planning Cpl would have ejected. As it was he flatly refused to do runway control ever again.

Ejected from which plane? The one on final and let it potentially mince the one lined up, or the one lined up and potentially get thrown into the path of the one on finals?
I'd agree this was not a set up.
However, I thought it was an all-pilot sortie with a German Air Force student in the front and a very well known (to the public!) Brit Instructor Pilot (flt lt) in the back
.
Weren't they on a simulated flapless or a swept approach?

Wrath I knew the student pilot was not British but I believe the IP was in fact OC Ops as indeed was the F3 IP.

monk - you are correct about the crew. The forward view from the boot is not the best.
But have a look at the vid and you'll see the flaps were down (ok, OR Mid for the pedantic!).

yes, like speechless and simulated speechless.
Just 'simulating' the condition that would make event real.
A simulated engine failure on take-off is another instance.

I remember this incident from my TTTE days...the instructor was indeed the "Well known gentleman" referred to in an earlier post. Best one ever was the SGO at TTTE trying to taxy off the runway whilst still attached to the overrun cable...He made it onto the taxiway and then the aircraft ground to a halt. He assumed (wrongly) that the brakes had overheated and seized. Bearing in mind the cable was some 1300 feet from the threshold, he did well to stretch it that far!
