So what happens when you've got a brand new Airbus 340-600 to test prior to delivery and you you take the engines to full power, then accidentally let off the brakes?

Looks like to get around $200-million worth of scrap!

As my dad wrote on the back of the photo of one of his carrier landings...

"Whoops!"
 
Now, reverse is the little 'R' on the gearstick, remember...

Anyone remember the case of the motoring journalist invited to Italy to test drive a one-of-a-kind £300,000 Ferarri on a race track and at top speed he rammed his foot down on the brake thinking it was the clutch and completely wrecked the engine?
