Rob, from the BBC report:

"A source at Liverpool FC confirmed the private jet had flown from the United States and was carrying one of the club's owners, Mike Gordon."

I thought they largely used light twins, or has this changed recently?

I thought "charter" PA-46's were the footballers preferred .... sorry, bad taste....No, that doesn't happen any more, stoppit...

Just his regular commute apparently.

Is it possible to switch that off so it doesn't appear in every post?

Not sure. Has it gone now? There is an alternative option to the Tap if needs be

Bingo! It's the "signature" option in the app settings.

Thank you!

The guy that owns Liverpool FC was the sole passenger after its Atlantic crossing....

Dnt anybody tell the young lady from Sweden.

That is a light twin

So yes, a large aircraft that has probably not vacated past the holding point is probably a “safety” concern and perhaps not over the top

It looks like they departed the paved surface on a high speed turn off.
The taxiway abruptly narrows after the turnoff, with no warning. If unfamiliar an accident waiting to happen, very poor taxiway layout.

It happened on this RET, looks like a very poor design, maybe they weren't on the taxiway centreline.

Then the question is why weren't they on the taxiway centreline? There's no edge lighting so the centreline is all you have.

I'm based at Liverpool and never noticed that the taxiway narrows. Not much of an issue in a 182

Last I heard...2 huge cranes had been brought in to lift the aircraft back on to solid ground....can anybody confirm this.

I suppose if there are no strong points on the aircraft to pull it from the soft ground...they don't have much choice.

When I saw the local HGV wrecker truck running its powerful winch cables out to the jet...I remember thinking....gee guy its not a 44 ton artic which is what they are use to pulling....I do hope your insurance company will be happy with what your about to do.

Once Upon A Time I got a bollocking from an instructor for not following the centreline (I reckoned that I could see where I was going and there was plenty of room, but I was told that wasn't the point). These days I do follow the centreline.

Which bit of grass is the centreline?
