Just down the road from us, my Brother lives on the road where it came down and has lost all their phone and internet connections!
He said last night they can see the wrecked Fury from their bedroom window!

Hi
That Sea Fury is one of the 3 planes which are used for "Fly With Us" experience flights.

They haven't yet released the crews' names.
The pilot in 2014 at the Culdrose Airshow forced landing was Chris Gotke who got an AFC for managing to avoid the crowds and making a relatively safe landing. _________________ Bristols should always come in pairs.
Any 2 from:-
Straight 6
V8 V10 |

From the photos it rather looks like the "engine trouble" the pilots reported possibly equates to "fell off!"

I remember driving a double decker bus, where the gearbox fell out whilst negotiating a small roundabout...
The world, literally, all came to a grinding halt.
{No one believed me when I phoned it in...until the very tardy other buses started arriving back...Somehow, ''the gearbox has dropped out'' seemed to be taken as being facetious. Also, '' you'll need more than an Escort van for this!''} _________________ Dellow Mk2, 1951 built, reg 1952.
