It all happens so fast when you see it like that, but good recovery by the crew

Kind regards

Yes mate and would they have been well sha**ed by the CAA after they'd landed :lol:

Agree entirely with John's post. When you see it like that.. moving in realtime.. hat's off to the crew who did the 'right' thing and got it back down sharpish. One could argue that it shouldn't have happened in the first place but if you asked the question, who was more surprised.. the spectators or the crew.. the answer would be the same ;-) Bet it doesn't happen on the next run :lol:
