Technically, if he "went around" it could be correct?

Made a mess of the car park

Am amazed anyone survived, assuming they did, but air ambulance attended.

Sky now reporting four fatalities.

Landed too fast, clipped the fence trying to get airborne apparently. Put it straight into the car park.

Media confirming it was a Saudi jet.

Sky website states that Blackbushe hosts drag racing. It did - but not for over 40 years.

I confirmed that at 1605

Looking on google that strip looks mighty short for such a fairly fast aircraft.
The car park for the auctions is literally at the end of the runway too with zero run off. Yikes!

The picture you posted shows it at Blackbushe - so it was obviously a regular there.

Small biz jets like the Phenom use Blackbushe regularly. There are a number actually based there. The runway at Blackbushe is 4,380 feet long.

Its cheaper to use Blackbushe rather Farnborough, and also more discrete! Some private aircraft park at Blackbushe rather than Farnborough too.

[red_slr]

Its a fair comment just comparing to EGCC, for example, which is 10,000ft. Much more room for error etc. IYSWIM.

[onyx39]

Sounds like a failed aborted landing, but didn't have enough power to climb and ended up hitting the fence?

Interestingly, Osama Bin Laden's father died piloting a Beechcraft 18 holding that registration:

On the cars, I assume if they had been sold then the new owners will be on the hook and have to deal with the aircraft's insurer?

I have a sneaking suspicion this is my neighbour. I am in Hartley wintney and my neighbours are From the BinLaden family.
