Yool be able to bolt a Garret on now, (According to a lot on this site) that'll stop this sort of thing ever happening again.

They may be noisy, but they certainly are reliable!

Since you asked.
You probably mean the Beagle 206 which is the only Beagle I know that served with the RFDS. It was a twin, it certainly wasn't ugly and the tail looks quite delightful to me.
See what sort of thread drift you get when you don't compose the subject carefully

Indeed,Fris B fairing,that's what I thought of as the Beagle.
I guess seeing I haven't seen one since 1973,I knew it had an unusual shape. OK so maybe the bulbous cabin looks a little disproportinate.
Interesting photo though,RFDS markings but UK rego.

I dunno about these bush mechanics. That certainly looks like an unapproved method of engine removal to me ..... 
At least, when the boss asks, "What happened??" - he can truthfully say, "I dunno? - it was just travelling along nicely - and then all of a sudden, the wheels just fell off it .... "

That makes me want to cry. that was a good ship with all the good gear in it. I really enjoyed the many hours I had in it.
I hope they guys are alright. Anyone have any news on how the driver is?

Beagle 206 G-AVAN was photographed at Archerfield on 2 July 1967 shortly after delivery. It later became VH-FDB.

Yes, Bristol Freighter VH-TBB in the background.

Edit: Corrected date from 1987 to 1967. Thanks Aye Ess.

Helicopter Utilities had a Beagle 206 in PNG in the late 60s. The late WR did an over weight take off from POM & as he raised the wheels, one engine stopped. The other couldn't keep it airborne, so WR did a nice run on landing in a grass field. Unfortunately there was a large ditch in the way, so when the 206 stopped suddenly, the tail came up & over & dented the nose. The cabin was built like a tank, didn't break & all 6 POB climbed out without a scratch.

This is interesting.
You'll note that earlier in this thread I stated the following, which came from the accident scene shortly after the accident.
Shortly after, Diatryma said 15th January 2010 at 10:40am quoting the ATSB preliminary report with hyper-link attached:
But NOW, the ATSB report says:
Soooo.... how did the experts get such a simple thing wrong for those out there that think that the ATSB are infallible!!!!!?????

XXX says, (the aircraft) Overshot strip and hit hard.
The aircraft UNDERshot the runway and collided with terrain.
The aircraft overshot the runway and collided with terrain. The investigation is continuing.

On a side note he overshot hey?
Hope it was not because he went through a particular flying school that would not let you side slip a Cessna with flap down (even in an emergency)

The Beagle 206 sure was a built like a Brick outhouse....when I worked in the UK in the late 1970s the company had a 206S and the CP had a engine problem and put down in field but hit a fence post on R/H wing outboard of the engine and put quite a big dent and a hole, with a bit of on-site repairs and a light fuel load he flew it out back to LBA...if had been any other type they would not have flown it out.....however the way the wing was made the quote too just do a repair was around 70,000 pounds so the boss sold it to a USA operator....the cabin was very large for a small twin,but the early models were underpowered....sorry about the thread drift

spoke to a couple of the van drivers up here. Apparently he had lost oil pressure in the engine and thinking commercially he decided to shut down the engine, so as not to cause any more damage to the engine than what has already been done.
The driver is ok. he was out flying today

This thread on another message board discusses an incident where a pilot shut down an engine with low oil pressure at night and restarted it to achieve a powered landing after gliding to the vicinity of an airport. So it can work out well for you.
