It looks like the main gear is so tall and the nose so long that they got away without a propstrike. That'd at least mean only part of the day was ruined.







Edited after Post 7 to say ..... Ah well, I'll get me coat. (Thanks for the bigger pic 750XL) Maybe there's an aftersales opportunity there ? any spare Concorde nose cones about ?

The story going around here at present is that they had 600 live rats on board as cargo, I wonder were they for experimenting as well, would not be for pets thats for sure.

I reckon the emergency services approached it with caution when they heard what was on board.

BinAir..... rather unfortunate name for an air operator, methinks.

Six hundred rats, that's a lot more rats than they usually have in an 18 seater.
