"The pilot thought he heard the engine cough" - yeah that would be from it sucking in a lungful of eau-de-effluent
Poor bugger.

Ecccch! Funny that - I had no problem landing a DC-3 at Thames ... but that was in FSX
The problem with TV3 and Firefox may be Adblock related. I have to allow it for the TV3 site. Excessive advertising is one of my pet peeves ... and this country seems rife with it.

Dont think that being filmed on National TV he needed to say too much really!

Poor bugger.
Why would the engine coughing make him overrun the end of the strip.
The engine should be decelerating so the cough should have helped.
Sounds like an excuse to tell the tv reporter.

If he was on a go around then it would not have help

Posted: Tue Oct 28, 2008 6:18 pmDo you think we should ask Laurie for some updated ponds - could make for some great screenies...?

Posted: Tue Oct 28, 2008 6:42 pmLeast the pilot walked away without serious harm. I wonder how much it will cost to fix the plane.....

Posted: Tue Oct 28, 2008 8:24 pmi know that airfield very well and the only way that would of happen is that he took off on runway 14 and had engine trouble or something went wrong 500 m s off end of runway that made him land in the sh!!t lol

Posted: Tue Oct 28, 2008 9:26 pmEwwwww Dont think I'd bother fixing it hahahaha brings a whole new meaning to "Sh!t Hitting the Fan" or in this case "Sh!t Hitting the Prop" or I guess you could say he was up "Sh!t Creek With-out a Paddle" hahaha I really do have more of these but I'll just leave it there lol.

"I didn't have to have a close look at the plane, I knew something stinks about this incident.... "
