OK Dawdler, the tragic Amanda just made it back to the cockpit but the engine fire that led to the crash happened during a wing walking routine.

I watched the wing walkers at Duxford Airshow last week, flying in winds which had cancelled many of the displays and take my hat off to them:

I certainly wouldn't do it: and having seen Martin Shaw's Stearman inverted and on fire at Old Buck after a take-off accident a few years ago I certainly wouldn't want to be on the wing at take-off.

Like this poor girl:




Each one to his own.
