Atomic Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 That windscreen just needs a litttle spit and polish Any idea what the car was? And have to say it doesnt look anything near 180... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] A 500bhp Evo IX is hit by a seagull during a top speed run on the MLR 30 to 130mph day at RAF Marham. Indicated speed is 180mph. Not quite as bad as the porsche vs a pheasant that was posted some time back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danksy Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Its difficult to guage the speed with the abscence of static objects in the field of view. The only thing that gives an indication are the runway markers but they are on a different scale to those on public roads so it is difficult to tell By the noise the engine was making it would suggest it was going full chat when the bird hit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon magnifique Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Ouch! I think I'd have jumped a tad further than that passenger did! As for the speed, it's on a wide runway with virtually no reference points... speed is very deceptive in those circumastances.

Ian_C Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Excellent footage demonstrating why you should always insist on like-for-like windscreen replacement. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
