One student on the last Harvard course at 3 FTS Feltwell in 1955 was fortunate that the aircraft had the two-bladed prop; he elected to try his hand at low flying and gave a large area of Norfolk a power cut by hitting a High Tension power cable. He flew the aircraft back to Feltwell (no doubt for an interesting interview) and I saw the aircraft after the incident. The cable marks ran along the leading edge of both wings and of the engine cowling, just below the prop shaft. It must have been near impossible to achieve this without also hitting the propeller and he would certainly have come to grief with three blades
