It's all go Ramsgate! Not only have we had the Ostend Spirit superduperferry in our port this morning, but the Flybe Bombardier Dash 8 has been doing training circuits over the town all day in preparation for the start of the new Manston Edinburgh service in May. And so far it hasn't crashed, like other Dash 8s did here, here, here and here. Hurrah!

Crappy Landings

Find me an aircraft you like or trust. . I bet I can find a list of incidents and accidents for that too
Well.... it was awful weather....or very dark......or.....
As one who lives under the flightpath I can only.....GULP!!!!!
All day my ar*se ! it was here for a couple of hours this afternoon.
12:58 to 15:45 in fact
ECR are you trying to scare the people... tut, tut.
Of the "notable accidents" of the Dash 8 two due to bad weather, two due to pilot error and the fifth an unknown. With regards to undercarriage issues with Q400 aircraft in servives with SAS in 2007 I believe eventually the blame was laid at the door os SAS for cutting corners with maintenance.
bloody fat fingers... typos galore, but you get the point ;)
If the USA can put a washing machine into space, a dash can... errr dash about!!
No typos were harmed in typing this up. But we will wait for the wheels to come off of this venture.
your becoming to predictable with your posts ECR. I saw the circuits and immediately thought of you!
I'm rather more worried about security at the airport.
what are your security concerns?
Anon...6;42....The Wright brothers 1903 Flyer seems fairly incident free.
..The Wright brothers 1903 Flyer Hardly a flight though here is an excerpt from the web :-ith Orville Wright as pilot, the airplane took off from a launching rail and flew for 12 seconds and a distance of 37 meters (120 feet). The airplane was flown three more times that day, with Orville and his brother Wilbur alternating as pilot. The longest flight, with Wilbur at the controls, was 260 meters (852 feet) and lasted 59 seconds.
Me? I just light the blue touch paper and stand well back!
