Sorry BEagle. I din't make my point very clear. I thought the smoke on the ground unusual but put it down to being normal for the Victor. I was, however, suprised that it continued with the aircraft...

That is exactly what I noticed. Looked like a lot of smoke coming from the region of the No 3 engine before the run started. Of course that may have just been the perspective I had. Or of course,...

VictorPilot,

Why all the cloak and dagger stuff? Can't you just knock it on the head and tell everyone what happened? It's obvious as to who you are...

If you can't do that yet, maybe you...

May I just point out that all this talk about a strong x-wind is a red herring. It was windy, but not that windy. May I also point out that if the wind WAS outside the x-wind limits of an aircraft...

Given some of the responses since my last post, and in the interests of fairplay, i'd just like to re-iterate and expand briefly on a point I made earlier;

I can't help but feel I’m repeating myself a bit so I won't say much more on the subject after this.

Firstly, the 'pub talk' you refer to came from a posting the guy 'flying' the aircraft on...

...don't post it on a public forum in the first place, alongside the sort of stuff that was mentioned. Just a thought.

Anyway, I was a bit naiive and I was wrong so I apologise to SD and Pop.

Well, I would have said that from the second this thing became airborne it was barely under control. As such I would have said the fact that this didn't end up in a smoking wreck was pure luck.

I'm not the best at trying to explain this sort of thing but it is down to an aircrafts tendancy to 'weather-vane'. For example, a cross-wind like yesterdays was blowing right to left across the...

Andrew,

Exactly that. During a x-wind takeoff you are effectively taking off with crossed controls to prevent the into wind wing lifting. If you watch a x-wind landing on youtube, during the...

Fair question.

You would need directional control firstly (i.e rudder), but more so any element of a x-wind requires working flying controls so as to prevent the into-wind wing from lifting...

Croqueteer,

no, 'can't be bothered to argue' means just that.

I can only assume you're talking about something you didn't see, have not seen footage of and are, therefore, talking from a...

Noted Pop.

Just to say that it was a 'fast taxi run'. An aircraft which is not airworthy became airborne. In my eyes that is a cock up and as I was there, and saw it close to the limit of...

Yes, but with respect, a Viscount is not a heavy 4 engined jet and you simply don't/can't do that in a jet.

To do so is to push your luck beyond its design limits.
