皇冠体育app

Vickers Supermarine Spitfire MK XIX, G-RRGN

Summary:

皇冠体育app aircraft had landed on Runway 27 at East Midlands Airport and was taxiing to vacate the runway when the undercarriage retracted, causing the wooden propeller to strike the runway and shatter. 皇冠体育app pilot stated that he had intended to retract the flaps but inadvertently selected the undercarriage to UP: the levers are on different sides of the cockpit. It is apparently a usual practice to retract the flaps a soon as possible after landing to minimise the effect they have on cooling radiator airflow. 皇冠体育appre is no weight-on-wheels protection circuit.
