Wayfarer Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 (edited) A friend send me this link. Might have been posted here before, or I expect some of you will have seen it, or some of the photographs, already. If you haven't, well some of them literally made me catch my breath! http://www.vintagewi...-Wagon-Rut.aspx Edited December 11, 2011 by Wayfarer
MikeDixonUK Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 The ones with the Spit with the snapped prop blades and the P-47s with bent props and cowlings are just ever so slightly insane!
Flyby PC Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 Wow! I'd seen 2 or 3 of those, but lots of new stuff there to my eyes. One I had seen was the Mosquito, but there's also a second picture featuring another low flying Mossie with the Observer calmly looking out the window. I'm sure I have it somewhere...
+Olham Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 Very good collection of aircraft photos! Some are not seen very often. So I like the Westland Whirlwinds over the dunes. (Had an AIRFIX model of that craft in my childhood)
Bullethead Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 That guy with 3 props feathered in the Lanc was OUT OF HIS FRIGGIN' MIND!!! I saw some interesting low-level stuff at an airshow a while back. I suppose the ballsiest was this guy cutting ribbons while inverted:
Hauksbee Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 (edited) An incredible collection of photos. Love the South African Harvards (T-6 Texans) with their wheels touching the water. (now that's bold!) And...P-47's are even tougher than I had thought. Edited December 11, 2011 by Hauksbee

And...P-47's are even tougher than I had thought. One of my dad's 1st cousins flew Jugs. One of the guys in his squadron was strafing a flak position and flew through a telephone pole. He came home with the center 6 feet of the pole, still vertical, embedded about 3 feet into the leading edge of his wing.
