Last week wasn't too good either, between the Qanta's 747 and the Hawker 800 that crashed just north of where I live and killed all on board.

Good old BBC...............apparently, wingtips have fins ;D.

"No-one on board the aircraft was hurt in the collision, which ripped about 4ft (1.2m) off one wing tip's fin."

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Manchester incident -"The airport is configured in such a way that when aircraft do move around, this kind of thing shouldn't happen."

I'm going to go ahead and chalk that up as a FAIL
