Hmmmmm, call me a sceptic, engineer pushed the throttle the wrong way did he, then froze and the plane just lifted?

I would have thought there was a fair margin between slow taxi up the runway and take off speed, perhaps an old 70 year old going for one last blat, before they don't let him near it again

Cheers Mark
