Very lucky to get out of that one

Seen this one before, ATC will have got a rocket for that.

Those silly germans..
Youre supposed to land on the runway, not the plane..

[F3Hadlow]

Those silly germans..

I believe they are actually both RAF Tornados Theis

[Tweek]

Yep, an RAF F.3 being landed on by a GR.1 by the looks of it!

[Theis]

Whoops..
My bad!

Those silly brits!

Oopsie.

[Willit Run]

I guess it's time to change their underware!!

Are you sure that GR.4 was actually intending to land - his approach speed seemed to be a bit quick to me?

He also had plenty of power & speed on tap fairly quickly considering he had full flaps down

[F3Hadlow]

It's very possible the GR was coming in for an overshoot or a roller and he was told that the F3 would be clearing the runway before he got to the threshold.

Another possibility is that the F3 is holding for the GR to do his approach (although the fact hes on the piano keys doesn't support that much) and clear again before takeoff but the GR pilot came in too low and had to go around as seen.

It could be something completely different, it's just a shame we can't ask the original cameraman who took this video!

Its one of those that you'll never know the answer too really. I suspect it was abroad as thats the kind of faff that the runway caravan controller at home airfields is there to prevent using flares/radio whatever...
