Seem to recall coming across a couple of 'abandoned' RAAF Caribou, just on dusk, at Corrigin airstrip, maybe 25 years ago .. wearing a couple of somewhat buckled wingtips!! ..

Seems like someone .. who remains nameless .. misjudged the length of a Caribou wing! .. or the proximity of the other parked Caribou .. when they went to do a 180 at the end of the strip! ..

I'll wager there was an awful lot of, "Yes Sir!" .. "No, Sir!" .. "Yes, Sir" .. from someone standing rigidly to attention, at Pearce, the following week! ..
