That's nearly as good as the Etihad pilot who taxid his brand new Zero hours not yet delivered A340 off the end of the runway earlier this year :D

We have that on nearly every roundabout near where I live, the council call it publicly accessible art!!!

AFPMSL!!!

TBH i am sick of the sight of air craft as of where i live and it would be nice just for one day not to hear the dam things or even see them. Everytime i drive out the gate theres 1 plonked on a mud head for viewing! :lol1:

When they were delivering the second TSR2 to Boscombe Down for its test flying the transporter driver went round a tight turn too fast at the airfield and it fell off. It cracked the fuselage and wrote it off. The driver ran away!

Dare i say it "Looks like it will polish out"!;)

It wasn't a runway and it wasn't an Ethiad pilot. :thumb:

It was still pretty **** driving though ;)

Nope, it was, supposed, to be stationary.

Pilots left the flight deck in the middle of a engine test. Plane crept forwards, pilots couldn't get back quick enough, and...... oh dear. :nono:

you mean they left the handbrake off and a mouse who lived under the dashboard stepped on the accelerator :lol1:

Difficult to believe they could be that stupid!

Les

Is that hull a total loss then or will they just hack the front end off and put a new one on ?

Tornado + Arabs + Crane = climate pollution? I am sure someone somewhere is going to blame CC for this incident.

Was it not the last one of that model they intended to build? When it happened I thought I'd read that the manufacturers couldn't replace the plane as there wasn't anyother being built.

It was an A340-600, which AFAIK, is still in production.

Spotter :p :D

I bet the guy in the crane shat his pants :lol1:
how did he get down :wonder:

In fact the A340-600 had not even flown yet, it was undergoing a powerplant check.......even worse! :freak3:

By the way, what was trying to pick up what in the pictures?

:lol1: :smug:

Oh come on! :p

The differences between the 343 and 346 are so vivid, I'd hardly call it spotting! :thumb::D

The A340-600 has proper engines and looks like a Cohiba!
