Folks,
Re. the sad demise of the C-47/DC-3 VH-EDC.
The aeroplane would not have continued flight with Pontius the Pilot as the Captain.
The prop. on the failed engine was assembled incorrectly at its last overhaul, and would not feather.
In my opinion, the PIC did a good job in pulling of the ditching he did, with no loss of life or serious injuries.
Tootle pip!!
PS: "Back in the day", I did my endorsement check ride in EDC, my first endorsement on an aircraft over 12,500 lbs. Hence a bit of a soft spot.
