Many thanks 'J' for the photos.
Sort of finishes the 'almost happy' ending....everybody safe, pilot smiling with only minor disability, poor old '210'.....
they really are a diminishing breed.
Looks like the family almost had a picnic...smiles all around!
I might have kept the wheels up too. A lot of that territory is
S O F T bulldust when graded, and a 'nose over' on landing would have been worse, I reckon. And, from the air, who can tell??
I've had my trusty old Ford Falcon Wagon have trouble in that stuff - and it has 4 wheels - much bigger than those on the C210!
Well done son, may you recover soon & 'get back on the horse'.
And thanks to all for the many POSITIVE responses.
Cheers
