As is often the case, the story doesn't quite live up to the headline!

The one time I flew into LCY, I was amazed at the smoothness of the landing. Wonderful experience though. :)

Only cought this news at Dinner today.

I knows this has been posted before http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcS89Ktbxeo but its the same type of aircraft at the same airport - sort of topical.

So soon after the Bufferlo crash, I suppose we ought to be gratful it was only the aircraft that got bent this time round.

Must have been one HELL of a hard landing to bend the gear of a 146! :o

Fascinating. Two close-on incidents.. it's a steep glidepath into there, but for two nosegear incidents so close together it will be interesting to pore over whatever findings are published...
