G- reg BAe146 landing incident in Florence.
From : http://www.ansv.it/En/Detail.asp?ID=295
A BAE 146 reg. marks G-BPNT severely damages lower fuselage making ground contact during a missed approach at Florence Airport
The BAE 146 G-BPNT arriving from Southend to serve a chartered flight, severely damages lower fuselage making hard ground contact during a missed approach at Florence Airport. The aircraft occupants, cockpit and cabin crew as no passengers were on board, suffered no injuries and the aircraft was eventually landed at a second attempt and appears to be severely damaged. ANSV is investigating the event.
From the reg. this appears to be Flightline's "Jaguar Bird"

Saw it at Florence today: you would not know that the aircraft was the subject matter here, nice and shiney parked outside Medavia, so for serious read probable tailstrike a long way from base ... so seriously expensive.
An old thread, but on a positive note - at least the Capt flew a go around. Better a few scrapes than a big dent by going off the end of the runway. Could we all learn from this? Train to fly a Go Around from any point during the approach and landing; so back to the simulator.

Am I right in thinking that Florence has a rather original arrangement whereby the runway can only be used in one direction due to the proximity of mountains? I recall a very lively max energy take off downwind in a Meridiana 146 a couple of years ago. Presumably landings can be interesting for the same reason.......
