Amazing vanishing act of incident at EN

Something fishy here. A light twin does in a nose wheel during the take off run at EN a few days back. The props are purportedly stuffed. Someone on Pprune Reporting Points says he wonders what caused the accident. Then the post vanishes off Pprune faster than sh...t off a shovel. Some else asks quite innocently what happened to the thread. That too does the slippery shovel act. In both case the type of aircraft was mentioned. Maybe that's the clue to the vanishing posts?

So let's try it again - this time taking care not to identify the type of aircraft that scratched the runway at EN.

Does anyone know what caused the accident to a light twin manufactured by an American company whose name is also the name of a large tree, and whose type name is similar to a minor member of the British autocracy.

The aircraft is known for having two doors which once had a reputation for coming open on take off (mainly because pilots refused to write up the defect) - each engine is equipped with one two bladed prop and it has a blue line speed of 85 knots. The captain sits in the left seat normally and it this particular aircraft that stuffed its nose wheel and props, which was once owned by a man who deals in cars.

Now surely this post will not vanish like all the others - or will it?

It won't. We can't stop people from deleting the first post they offer and taking the lot with it - but that's not Hudson's style.

Devil

This is not a case of disappearance just a big cover-up, the damaged troublesome twin was whisked away to a maintenance hangar call 'something that you can catch of a toilet seat'- tree to cover the embarrassment of one of the well to do flying schools located at the scene of the disappearance at Essendon Airport.

".....a light twin manufactured by an American company whose name is also the name of a large tree, and whose type name is similar to a minor member of the British autocracy."

"name of a large tree" = Beech???

"minor member of the British autocracy" = Duchess???

Hudson. The thread wasn't removed by Woomera. I've looked everywhere for it - in Admin, in the Towers Dunny and behind Danny's bar - can't find it!

As Rob said, it could only have been deleted by the original poster. Delete the first post in a thread and you delete the entire thread.
