faulty flaps eh, you always need a good set of flaps to keep things ticking along nicely

[RickyFullerBeer]

Ha, you mean piss flaps don't you?

The significance of robust flaps can never be underestimated.

I wonder if the pilot did his flap checks whilst trundling along to the runway, they were on a quick fuel stop, I always like to see them being tested before take off,

Usually failure to deploy flaps leads to a crash on take off, sounds like the flaps didnt retract at the same time and stalled one of the wings.

Shitty old Russian planes.
