Looking at today’s Herald Sun I notice that the photo of the pilot (caption, Kicking himself, the pilot is checked out by paramedics) is wearing the Tiger Moth World uniform shirt this after the management denied to the media that they, Torquay Airport had anything to do with the crashed aircraft.
The aircraft departed Torquay flown by a Torquay employed pilot with intentions of dropping the parachutes on Torquay and I imagine he was intending to land at Torquay because he was trying to call them all the way down.
Sounds like a load of cr@p to me, so that makes it the third aircraft written off in under two years by Tiger Moth World pilots, the mind boggles.
morning mongrel
Looking at the photo’s I don’t think they would’ve had to pull too hard to remove the engine as it would departed the mounts before they touched it
It is alleged from those at the scene said there was no fuel slick around the wreck.
Anyway another good old girl lost.
