Nothing serious in three decades. Not flying currently due to financial constraints (household budget)

But two and half decades back I was taxying a Rallye Minerva across rough grass to park it at the end of the days flying following my mate who was leading the way on foot.

Yep, you guessed it, I found the pothole and the heavy old 220hp Franklin pitched me nose down into it. Lound zinging sound from the prop, my mate diving for cover and the rat tat tat of shot blasting the side of a nearby hangar with stones and clods of grass.
