Jure Miljevic Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Hello What did they expect, anyway? One of the earliest jet engines (no bypass whatsoever) at full throttle with its exhaust pipe some two feet above the ground. No wonder tarmac (yes, tarmac) flew around in big chunks.

Gorby Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Looks like they had the cowboys in to do that tarmac job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jure Miljevic Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 (edited) Seahawk, somebody must have taken the box art of the old Hobbycraft Mk.I Vampire kit seriously. Cheers Jure Edited May 2, 2017 by Jure Miljevic missing photo added 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand it had the aircraft been sitting on the tarmac for a while but that wasn't the case. Just a shoddy repair job. Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewfl290 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 It's a wonder the flying debris didn't hit the tail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junglierating Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Doubtless there will be a get out cause for the contractor....unless there is a BS with a kite mark for runways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
