Soggy, apologies, I used the word 'tale' incorrectly. The accident is well known as it was used as a classic method of engendering knowledge and safety issues in the minds (
) of new Bootnecks when introduced to flying machines. Of course it became a bit of folklore and was embellished etc. Thanks for clarifying the history, some of the guys I'm in touch with remember it.
Now, which one of you booogers was flogging the Wessex that broke me?
