Incident?

[big greg]

Hi,anyone got any info about a plane that landed with sparks flying and black smoke at around 10am ish today.

[Mike]

Greg,who did you hear this from ?

[big greg]

Hi Mike,my brother said he was at burger bar this morning,and was told that one had just come in before he got there with sparks and smoke coming off it.And that they had just cleared the runway up and back to normal.This is why i was asking if anyone could shed any light on it,it maybe nothing then.

[Mike]

I don't know mate,maybe one of the Coningsby locals could shed some light on this ??

Oh dear, I suspect the pilot will have to answer a few questions in which case. One can only imagine the potential danger of deloying flares on the ground, surrounded by other jets and fuel tankers.

Thread renamed because the original name was a bit stupid.

Answer questions yes, but I doubt his fault more likely a problem with the jet. Under normal circumstances you can't dispense flares on the ground due to all the safety features.

This morning ZJ942 DH fired 2flares while taxiing in 11Sqn shelter area,I had just shot said Typhoon when there were two bangs and two flares bouced down the taxi way.The landing incedent was DJ 11Sqn which fired flares on landing hence the sparks and smoke.

Cheers Kevin.

Now that is a weird coincidence, two incidences of flares being accidently being fired. Makes one think that there is a faulty batch of flares or they had be incorrectly fused ?

Someone please tell them that Bonfire Night isn't until the 5th November!!!!

Post deleted,Greg please PM Steve S directly if you have a problem with the title being re-named.
Thankyou.

Just to clairfy my earlier post -

Thread renamed because the original name was a bit stupid.

I was not implying anyone was stupid, just that the name of the thread was rather over-stated, bearing in mind the facts we now have.

No offence was meant to anyone and I apologise if any offence was caused.

Cheers
Steve
