Poor cow :(
Peacefully grazing in a field when some idiot knocks you down with a biplane.
Truly a bad day at the office for the cow !!

What were they doing? They depart the hard runway and land in a nearby field. EFATO?

Yeah it was an EFATO - can't find the AAIB report now, but from what I recall (if I'm not getting confused) the engine basically chewed itself to bits.
The number of idiots on the Daily Mail website where this was reported who were claiming it to all be the pilots fault, without even reading the fact that it had an engine failure!! (Don't panic, I only read some of the stuff on their website for the hilarious "journalism" and comments that people leave!)
Some people :ugh:

Don't worry guys, the cow was fine, if only a bit milk-shaken :}. The Tiger Moth's left wing took the brunt of it. AAIB report here (http://www.aaib.dft.gov.uk/publications/bulletins/december_2008/dh82a_tiger_moth__g_ahvv.cfm).

But if ever an engine failure can be funny, this WAS funny!

Eeek! Having an engine failure is one thing, clonking a cow another. Despite the bovine interface problem, that was a pretty good bit of flying!

I have "herd" of this before, but you guys are "milking" it this time. I think we should be more sensitive to the cows situation, I wonder if it "heard" the plane coming?

Only pulling your leg!
