Perhaps we can get one of those photos enlarged and framed for Ben's next birthday.

From the report, this one DOES sound like pilot error
I'll bet the crew were not popular at head office

From the crease in the fuselage and the rippling of the skin to the rear of that, it looks like it 'broke it' back'. Unlikely to be repaired on a new aircraft, let alone an ageing B737-400. It must have been one hell of a hard landing.

West Atlantic, the plane's Swedish-based operator, said only the flight commander will be allowed to land at Exeter Airport until further notice.
Ah, it's the old "the first officer was flying" defence.
