I remember being told of a story by the Sim* Instructor (initials GL) at my old Flying School where I did my initial MECIR who flew Mustangs with the old Civilian Air Force (as it was known then) of an incident he witnessed.

Apparently the Pilot bounced the A/C so badly that there was a prop strike and the Pilot taxied in with smoke pouring from the engine and after shut down the prop tips were bent at right angles at over a foot from the tips.



* Please lets not get into pedantic arguments on what constitutes a Simulator!
