After a 4 week stay at Lasham the aircraft was scheduled to ferried back to Honduras quickly making a stop in Farnborough. Around the time of the incident a Land Rover being used by airport staff as they inspected the runway. As the car ran up the runway it scared away 2 flocks of birds. The staff went back the other way and reported to ATC that the runway was clear, thus allowing the aircraft to take off. As the aircraft had just started to rotate the Captain noticed a large flock of birds in the way of the aircraft. He hoped that the aircraft would pass over the birds. As the birds disappeared from the horizon the crew heard several loud bangs and noticed the number 1 and 2 engines appeared to have loss power. As the noises were heard an engineer in the passenger cabin noticed 2 birds get ingested into the Number 2 engine. The crew noticed the pitch of the engine changed as well as a vibration throughout the aircraft. The crew would quickly notice that the Number 2 engine was the only engine that had an issue and thus increased power on the number 1 engine. The crew contacted ATC and continued to Farnborough . The aircraft had lost the cowling and suffered other engine damage.
Probable Cause:
The ingestion of 2 birds possibly due to the nearby Land Rover
