The Britten-Norman Trislander - A Tale of Bravery and Quick Thinking
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we witness the remarkable moment when the Britten-Norman Trislander mail aircraft made an emergency landing at Newcastle Airport. The image captures the essence of a dramatic incident that unfolded on September 2nd, 1986. Pilot Stephen Bevan, a courageous 26-year-old aviator, was diligently carrying out his late-night mail run from Liverpool to Edinburgh when disaster struck. Suddenly, a fire erupted in the rear engine of his aircraft. With nerves of steel and swift decision-making skills, Mr. Bevan promptly shut down the engine, triggering an automatic extinguishing system that successfully quelled the flames. The photograph freezes this pivotal moment in time as Mr. Bevan skillfully navigates his way through adversity while being approximately 46 miles northwest of Newcastle. His calm demeanor amidst chaos is truly commendable. This snapshot not only showcases the resilience and resourcefulness exhibited by pilots like Stephen Bevan but also serves as a testament to the reliability and durability of aerospace engineering during that era. It reminds us all of how crucial air travel was for business purposes back then. As we gaze upon this historic image captured by NCJ for Memory Lane Prints, let it serve as a reminder that even in times of crisis, human ingenuity can triumph over adversity with courage and quick thinking.
