Near-miss for Princess Anne
Princess Anne has been involved in a terrible airplane incident!
Whilst flying to events in Scotland, her plane was involved in a near-miss with an RAF plane under military control. The two planes came within a shockingly dangerous 3.3 miles of each other.
The plane on which the Princess was travelling has the specifiactions detailed below:
BAE 125 Specifications
Engines:
Two Garrett turbofans
Length:
50ft 8.5in (15.46m)
Wingspan:
47ft (14.33m)
Top Speed:
533 mph (858 km/h)
Accommodation:
Up to seven passengers
The Vauxhall Astra, a regular car has specifications as below:-
Length:
4.51m
Width:
1.75m
Height:
1.5m
Going on length alone, the car is circa 3x smaller than the plane.
That would mean that it would make front page news if I had a near miss in my car, coming within 1 mile of a lamppost.
Somethings really aren't newsworthy are they?
