Drexel,

The C182 was quite a popular discussion thread when the incident occurred. A quite vigorous debate on the merits of handswinging props ensued.

Not too dismilar from the PA32 incident at Parafield where a lone pilot handswung his IO540. There was a nice photo of unifomly sliced Seminole as a result of that one.

and

The runaway BE76 at Perth. Pretty well the same circumstances as the BK incident. Engineer got out to remove chocks but didn't shut down. Very expensive and painful error on the poor guys part.
