It is indeed a Bae 146 or whatever they are called now!

[Spitfire]

Isn't that like the one that Prince Pillock bent some time back

THE Prince of Wales will never again fly an aircraft of the Queen's Flight following his disastrous crash-landing on Islay.
However, although Prince Charles was at the controls when the BAe 146 overshot the runway and ended up in boggy ground, the captain of the aircraft was yesterday blamed for the accident and as a consequence can no longer carry on as an instructor pilot.
The RAF had suggested to Buckingham Palace that the prince should undergo intensive retraining, including simulator flights on a BAe 146.
The suggestion indicated a degree of criticism over the prince's skills as a pilot of this particular aircraft.
The crash could have cost the lives of the prince and the 10 others on board at the time.
Although he completed his wings course as a young man, Prince Charles, a group captain in the RAF, had never undergone refresher courses

I see the captain was named as royal scapegoat - I mean you can't have a 'royal' being guilty of any wrong doing can you

It was the captains responsibility tho' he should have taken control - I know one instructor [at the time] who wouldn't have hesitated to!!!!!

Fair point - but I can see some flunkies are intimidated by royals and possibly 'upsetting' them

I did note that the last sentence of my quote was incorrect - it should have read.....

"Although he completed his wings course as a young man, Prince Charles, a group captain in the RAF, was a complete tosser and should never be let near any aircraft"

PILOT: " Excuse me, Sir - I have control".

PRINCE TOSSPOT: "No, I have control, but you take the can when I screw up - as usual".

HAHA Got to agree there SF If "One" farts I bet some poor kitchen maid has to take the blame .If one can't land this small aircraft on a flat concret straight as a die bit and has to use the grass instead of brakes "one" should be banned or at least have points put on his licence .Oh sorry that did happen didn't it when the poor sod in the right seat took the hit .Whats the saying again any semi controled crash is called a good landing if you walk away from it.
Now how on earth did BIG ears get in this

[Mags]

Didn't he land downwind?

[Fifties Fanatic]

Downwind of what? His brain?

[Sickbag_andy]

I thought it turned out that Camilla grabbed his joystick at the wrong moment and he overshot!

That certainly a Bae. 146, if ever I've seen one.
One of the best smallmedium passanger jets ever built. I had the fantastic honour and experience of sitting in the right hand seat of one for a night landing at London Stanstead.
Kindest regards, Damian.

Hi Damien.

Why not tell us something about yourself in the New Members thread?

[Trident man]

They were re branded in the mid 1990's when production moved from Hatfield to Woodford as the Avro RJ series ie the RJ85 and RJ100 etc..


The particular aircraft in the second photo Atlantic Air (a BAe 146-200) was written off in November 2006 when the aircraft overran the runway Stravenger Norway.

Just a clarifier The pic in my first post was taken at 6.50pm Monday 19 July 2010 from the train. Didn't see the aircraft properly and that was a lucky shot .Touch down was right on the end of the runway before the piano keys in a cloud of spray so couldnt tell what it was then either ,didn't look on the camera for 2 days (was to busy sorting papers for a move) when I did I couldn't believe it as I had up to then thought the type was out of service hence the question.It was my wife spotted it was Air France just after took the pic.
