Did it exceed max G?
Fell off the side of the runway into a ploughed field on landing. Enough damage to render it an insurance write-off. Pilot unhurt, which is the main thing - although I gather he's been punching himself in the b
ks at regular intervals ever since. Could have happened to any of us though....Trevatanus said:
I know it would never and could never happen, but I'll say it anyway, EE Lightning please.
^This in T5 config - so I could book a seat More realistically though, are there any serviceable v-force airframes left, perhaps a late tanker converted Victor?
Other suspects could be Buccaneer, Harrier, even Jaguar. The BBMF has it's spoils of piston driven aircraft, which whilst iconic beyond doubt, lack the drama of our Cold War kit.
In any case, I'll chuck a donation into the war chest, even to see one 'old bird' fly.
