There used to be another member who recognised he had a broken wing when doing some aerobatics. Stayed inverted until very short final when he rolled out to a floppy touch down. Having survived that his number came up later when he was knocked down from his bicycle by a wayward car.
Sounds remarkably like Neil Williams's incredible escape, apart from the bit about the bike. Neil, I believe, was tragically killed on a ferry flight.
