Is it regular practise, for some reason, not to wear the shoulder straps?

Not suggesting in any way that the person involved in this incident is in this video, just that I would like to ask if there is some sort of mindset being allowed to take place at Breighton.

Found this looks like a similar kind of takeoff as the gazelle.

Aren't these old turbines, under the right (wrong?) conditions, susceptible to compressor stall?

Do you get compressor stall in centrifugal compressors?

Yes, but they are less susceptible than axial compressors.

Interesting find Mr747, it seems there was a bit of a problem starting with the third time being lucky.

Would like to know how all that worked, as the right hand seat person got out after the first failed start, got out went round the port side and opened the door. As the Al3 flew past we get the second start with person that was in the rhs standing by the port door. On the third (successful) start, same person closes port door checks engine and climbs back into the rhs.
Who is in the lhs? As the ac presents the port side to us they look quite small.

Flew XP967 extensively between 1981 and 1983 when she was with 16Flt AAC in Dhekelia, Cyprus.
In that case, I may well have had a pax ride with Jim KP around the same time. My boss knew I was applying for the AAC and arranged it.

Thankyou for your concern Crab , ....you do have a heart after all !!!!
As for the first video above ....i find it amazing that the pilot has managed to get so old !!! ( Or maybe he just looks old from the worry of what the f***K he would do if the donk stopped at anytime during that ride !!)

The club will give out a statement tomorrow in-respect to the A2 crash yesterday. Thankfully no fatalities.
