House martin on the climb out from Shobdon in a PA 38, dived down to avoid the prop, hit a wheel and the prop wash blew it into an elevator, putting a fist-sized dent in it.

Another club member hit a crow on the climb out from Welshpool, which put a football sized dent in the leading edge of his PA 38.
