Ignoring the very left hand side of the graph, it looks to me like neither AoA indicator reads zero until the airspeed increases. This isn't surprising - without airspeed, we'd not expect them to...

Sounds to me like what is known in computing circles as an "integer overflow". If you use a 16-bit integer to store altitude, you can only store values between 0 and 65535. After that it wraps back...

I'm not a professional pilot either, but it seems to me that if you have a potential fire at the front of the aircraft and you have a choice, you wouldn't want to evacuate facing into the wind.

From the pictures, the flames on the ground are in Wandsworth Road, about 200m due south of the crane. So this does sound plausible.

BusyB,

Odd, the link works for me. Or just Google for "AAIB Report No: 8/1977."

Certainly a gutsy decision to turn off the runway when it became clear they weren't going to stop in time.
