Sunday afternoons used to be great at Brussels, when around 4pm all freighter aircraft would depart after their day of rest at the Brussels Cargo apron. Fred Olsen's Lockheed Electra with EMS colours is seen here waiting to enter runway 02 in the afternoon sun. [ Scan from Fuji 100 slide ]

N285F was broken up at Shannon following a landing accident in 1999.

On 1 March 1999 the crew of this aircraft had a lucky escape after they momentarily touched down at Shannon with landing-gear still retracted. While the machine was climbing away for a circuit to land, the propeller assembly and part of No. 3 engine fell to the ground. Electrical power was lost and the only serviceable flight instruments available were the standby artificial horizon and wet compass. So as to maintain control, No. 4 engine had to be feathered and a successful landing was made with only No. 1 engine fully operative and No. 2 producing partial power. N285F was later broken up.
