It must have been a pretty tough old bird, despite its Allison engine, my deceased uncle trying to land after a seized engine failure demolished two brick built houses and finished up in the street about sixty yards further on, only to be consumed in the fuel fed fire that occured after frantic attempts by passers by to extract him from the cockpit, which had a jammed hood, according to eye witness report he waved people away from the remains of the A/C just as it started to burn, so despite the loss of his life to a secondary incident the actuall crash left him still alive! <img src="frown.gif" border="0">
