UK_Widowmaker 571 Posted October 10, 2012 I remember this photo from 1962, of a pre-production Lightning crashing....amazing shot! (the Pilot Survived with several Broken Bones) when he smashed through a Greenhouse full of Tomatoes) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
macelena 1,070 Posted October 10, 2012 Glad he made it out, it seemed like he would smash the ground without the para opening. Guess partial aperture and thats why the broken bones. Had to be terryfying Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lexx_Luthor 57 Posted October 11, 2012 Somewhere, there's a WW2 shot of a Stuka crashing into a town, well behind a building that was near the camera, and the Stuka is nosing down seemingly right into the chimney of the much nearer building. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lexx_Luthor 57 Posted October 11, 2012 ...and it was crashing, nose vertically down and only about 500 feet high, far too low to pull out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
