She has sat there for the last nigh on 20 years, ( Last one flew in 93) and on her fast taxy run she got airborne, much to the suprise of everyone and no dount the captain at the controls! I wonder when the ASI was last calibrated if indeed it has been post RAF, it just takes an undereading ASI as you lift the nose off on a fast taxi and you are Airborne.

I just hope it does not prevent future such events as these are often the only source of revenue these folks have to keep them going http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_frown.gif

I dont think the intention was to keep the fact it flew quiet from the CAA, it would be merely to try to retain some damage limitation and not have them spread far and wide.
