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...

Lucky no lip on the runway to take the u/c off
|
If that's soil in the air, is it more likely to come from the wheels or the exhaust, or both together?

Typhoon on the Grass (allegedly)
So what....

Rhino Power: In the words of Uncle Roger from Flight International "Late on the roundout again Hoskins"
|
Jaguar was designed to do that, mind you it was needed as it took a runway and some to get airborne :O
|
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. |

Well, I think, Mr Jack England's image clears up any questions about whether it did or didn't touch down on the grass! :ooh:

I don't see the problem ... One expects to 'Scarify' one's lawn this time of year ... He's just doing it with style ;)
|
Can I borrow that for the allotment?

"Lucky no lip on the runway to take the u/c off"
Could it be that MOD have finally adopted CAP 168/ICAO Annex 14 and got their heads around de-lethalisation? |
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. |
The crew inspecting their handy work...

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 When along comes this bloke in a bowler Which he lifted and scratched his 'ead Woooh, he looked down the 'ole Poor demented soul and he said ... |
Did something similar solo in a JP at Fulbeck, and fortunately bounced over the lip.
|
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...

I do hope the Line Chief has a sense of humour and slaps one of these under the cockpit :E
