Thanks for your correction re AMRO not HSF. AMRO= Aircraft Maintenance & Repair Organisation?? Use of differential braking is what I meant - my phrasing was perhaps misleading in this instance implying there was a standalone NWS (sub) system as per Typhoon within its landing gear system. I apprecia...

I read a slightly different account of the incident in that the pilot was a bit premature in raising the undercarriage.

Interesting news, I just wonder where they are going to get pilots and Flight Engineers from as there haven't been any L-1011s flying for some time now and probably most previous crews are well out of qualifications by now. I also suspect each aircraft will require some sort of extensive flight tes...

Its already happened in the UK.

Yeah its a valid point, and it does answer my question, but maintaining one rather than a whole squadron would surely make the job easier of spotting potential faults, plus with today’s tech, i'm sure they could so some slight re-engineering to improve its faults, I’m not talking about redesigning ...

No link?

And ongoing runway work at Valley.

Part of the new runway surface has started to break up and is having to be re-laid.

Video not available?

ZM512 has just come out of Kidlington and gone OTT me in Charlbury, looks to be heading back to Shawbury.

Nice shots, but it's spelt Bwlch. (Bwlch Oerddrws)
