Ulster Airshow,Newtownards 1987 Ken Wallis had just taken off to display Little Nellie when the engine cut out,he put it down nicely on the grass but nosewheel caught in a hole.Autogyro does a couple of flips with bits flying everywhere.Silence,nothing moves apart from one ATC cadet running to the scene,Wg Cdr Wallis stands up,gives himself a shake,waves at the crowd then starts picking up bits of the shattered machine.Incredable man ,not a scratch on him.
