(Before anyone comments, yes, the L-1011 can carry 412...)
On This Day in 1985: British Airtours Flight KT 101, a Tristar, overran the runway on landing at Leeds Bradford Airport (England). There were no fatalities among the 412 aboard. Enquiry pointed issues such as restricted thrust reverse performance and runway condition as factors in the accident. More infoโฌ๏ธ
Accident cause from the ASN site
"The accident report concluded that the overrun was caused by the inability of the aircraft to achieve the appropriate level of braking effectiveness due to restricted thrust reverse options and recommended that both the scheduled wet runway performance of the TriStar and the condition of the surface of runway 14 at Leeds Bradford Airport should be re-examined"
@apopey Totally agree, most "shot shy" team in the League. Always trying to walk the ball into the net, what's that all about ? Very disappointing way to way to thank the travelling support. #shoot
@Kdhchels_ First game v Croatia will tell us if this squad selection was truly well thought out.
After Southgate, I'm looking forward to us clicking up a gear.
