Was departing Biggin Hill (London area) UK en route to Gander - take off was aborted for unknown reasons minor injuries - possible nose wheel came off prior to collapse.

Sounds like the crew lined up the jet with the white line on the right side of the runway thinking it was the centerline - main wheels went off the runway on take off roll - take off was aborted - sounds like nose wheel separation followed by collapse onto nose.

Yet to be confirmed - but comments from airport employees.

Serious coin in the "preaching" business and quite a lifestyle if you run a GIII.........

Yes that is the owner, the fatal Lear crash in Bahamas was also another 'religious' figure.

Guess the "flock" will be asked to anti-up more in the collection plates for another 'fast mover" so the man can get to those poor Wretches who need to shown the "light".

about two years ago down in Houston, I was prepping the plane at the FBO. Two black SUV pulled up on the ramp a couple of secret service looking guys hopped out and stood by the vehicles looking all official and such. I asked the rampy whats going on thinking it might be W or his dad flying in, he said no they are waiting for Pastor so and so, Pastor? ya some snake oil sales man who has a morning preacher show or something. Anyway a G5 rolled up he and 4 others hopped out he took one SUV to himself, I was stunned thinking I read the wrong books or in this case I should have read just one and told everyone about it.

Anybody have a metar from the departure time?

If this is actually what happened, the incompetence is hard to believe.
