Sioux mounted a Scout

I've put a thread on the helicopter section about an accident at Wallop in the 70's. Someone suggested posting it hear as well. Before anybody else asks I am not the press!!!!!!

The reason for asking is that a local historian maintains a list of all aircraft accidents in Hampshire going back to WW1 and this one is not listed.

A Scout carried out an auto to the ground on a very wet day and slid for an eternity on the wet grass to a point coinciding with the Siouxs auto landing point. Horrible noisy mess ensued with only minor injuries to person.
Possibly more serious injuries to pride.

The exact date and the aircraft serial numbers are all that is required.
Nobody need know it was you!
