19-Jan - 1960 Danish Hawker Hunter

Engine failure during approach to Skrydstrup, Denmark. Pilot - 1st Lt. K. Rasmussen - ejected safely, three miles from Skrydstrup airfield. The now pilot-less Hunter flew on and made an almost perfect belly landing onto the runway at Skrydstrup, slewing off to the right on touchdown.

There was so little damage to E-415, apart from the nose cone (which was lost) that the Hunter was back in operational service within one month
