Typhoon on the grass at Coningsby...
It seems a T.3 landed a bit short at Coningsby a couple of days ago, hit the grass, bounced, went round again and then finally landed using the brake chute...

Jaguar was designed to do that, mind you it was needed as it took a runway and some to get airborne

I wish I could find my photos of the Phantom hook-dents in the AM2 matting at Stanley. Who needs a set of 5 cables when you can just hook the end of the runway?
I must search the Attic.

Replace all divots
Nothing wrong with the round out** (Should have gone to specsavers) The sign in the foreground says REPLACE ALL DIVOTS (Or it will now !!) Great Image
** Good round out;wrong place.
Looking at the runway markings on G-earth they give very little margin;so not surprising.

All together then chaps after 3 ... 1, 2, 3 ...
There I was, a-diggin' this 'ole
'Ole in the ground, so big and sort o' round it was
And there was I, diggin' it deep
It was flat at the bottom and the sides were steep

Remember the Staish at CGY, during F4 times, who said "The next pilot to land in the undershoot will be fired" (or words to that effect). Guess who the next pilot was......
It's just the RAF trying a further expansion - this time showing they can take on the combat engineering role. Why risk a slow old 'dozer when you can dig those defilades at 250kts with a typhoon...
