If what the BBC says is true (probably not!) about a brake test, I'd like to see their thought process before they started.

Brakes work = test pass = :) :cheers: :guinn:

Brake don't work = test fail = slide off end of runway = :doh: :hide: :rtfm:

I'm sure there's more to it! ;)

Good job they did a test.

Those brakes were obviously shite. :dunno:

There were no passengers on board at the time and there are no reports of any injuries to the crew, as the BBC's Jane Hill explains.
I bet the laundry basket wasn't so lucky :lol:

Those of us who remember Roger Bacon in Flight magazine from the 70's would see this picture as a definite candidate for the phrase:

That report reads more like Engine Runs n then the brakes let go.
