...and as the Datsun 120Y passed my house, I heard an almighty bang! I looked out the window and witnessed the driver struggling with the steering wheel as he attempted to park on the side of the road.
Hoping there may be some survivors, I quickly headed down the road. The Datsun was parked awkwardly, with one wheel on the kerb. The occupants by this time had extricated themselves from the wreck (it was a very old Datsun), and were congratulating each other on their good fortune. In no time, the RAC arrive. It doesn't look good for the 120Y.


Looks like the pilot did a good job. My memory of 210's is that they don't glide real well, hence the big engine up front!
