BBC website sometimes flashes breaking news at you. No one else has posted about this.

Not a lot to debate, this is a JFYI. There is a car auction site at the end of the runway and it may have overshot in the landing.

Sounds like a routine landing that went tits up. Maybe a failure of the breaks or reverse thrust.

4 dead in aircraft. No one killed on ground.Not disclosed yet where private jet plane was inbound from. Big fireball .Put out within 45mins by emergency services.

Aviation Safety Network shows a registration (Saudi prefix) with a ? after it, so too soon to say. Was inbound from Milan Malpensa.

These things are often time-shared or rentals and nothing too much should be read into the country it is registered to.

I`m not surprised there are 4 dead. Nobody would survive that.
It is unusual for jets to land at Blackbushe, nearby Farnborough is the more usual site.

I suspect there was a malfunction and an emergency landing which went tragically wrong.

Landing distance 2,621'. Blackbushe R25 4,380'.

So, with that amount of safety margin, it must have been something gone dramatically wrong.

I appreciate that specifications and actual pilot performance are not always the same.

200lbs (90kg) per passenger in the specs is remarkably generous and up to date.
A landing that went tits up - it happens
Owned by the family of Osama Bin Laden apparently.

Wait for the conspiracy theories !
-- answer removed --
It`s human nature to speculate about these events.

At it least it is a short journey for the AAIB.

Still wonder why they opted for Blackbushe it is not first choice for jets in the area, Farnborough has better facilities.
That plane is based at Blackbushe, it is in and out several times a week.
Flying between Saudi and the UK.
There`s a growing market for customers to charter unused legs of private jet flights. Maybe the passengers were such.

Thanks EDDIE.

I will check out that link shortly.

I haven't had Flightradar24 for much more than a year and for about half of that, the reg numbers and to/from routes on bizjets have been censored. Approximately concurrent with the rise of the media expression "the 1%", if you want to spin a conspiracy theory about it.

So, if you know the plane is a regular there, I take it that you are a local or know someone who is in the know. (Rhetorical, if you prefer).

It's all in the link to PPRUNE several posters on there say they know the plane and it is a very regular visitor to Blackbushe. As I said it is owned by the Bin Laden family one of the wealthiest families in Saudi Arabia.
Osma Bin Laden was the son and 'black sheep' of the family.
I wouldn`t take too much notice of what people say on Pprune. Rumours are rife in aviagtion and many posters are plane spotters and they don`t know what they are talking about (according to my OH who commands 747s for a living)
I qqwondered about Blackbushe in Surrey

it used to be an airfield in Hampshire ( fifty years ago )
Question Author
Something of a banzai approach pattern. Based only on a written description I have encoutered, this is how the military do their arrival pattern, in VFR conditions.

I'm not suggesting this was a military pilot but I might suggest a touch of 'wannabe' or just plain over-exuberant "jet-jock".
