Hi Nose Silver!!

I know I've seen a snippet of that landing clip before somewhere, maybe here, although this clip was more informative.

Cheers Garry.

Nice use of aerodynamic braking

Now thats Impressive!!

Kind of reminds me of some of the flights that you might do in flightsim thinking (This is one of those things that you couldn't do in real life...). But they did!

Skilled flying, thanks for the link.

Now thats a change of underwear landing! I wonder if Tonks could imagine doing that in the VC10?

Been done in the UK with Comets and Vulcans at Halton and Strathallan. Shame about the lack of video evidence!

Hi Charlie

But those were done well

The Comet at Strahallen suffered an undercarriage collapse :doho:

The Comet at Strahallen suffered an undercarriage collapse :doho:

Aided the braking though! :flying:

[DispatchDragon]

But made it tough taxiing to the gate

Charlie -- Just a thought - do you think he was trying to use aerodynamic braking or just lost it on the pitch up??
