Hang on a minute
(picture in Daily Mail)
I've never been someone for those spot-the-ball competitions, but I wonder about some larger objects missing from this picture.
After moving off the aircraft turned through 90° to go between buildings towards the runway. The width of the area between the buildings was insuf cient to allow the turns necessary for the pilot of a Stearman to see the area ahead. The pilot saw one helicopter parked ahead on the left, and another on the right, but could not see directly forward, and the propeller and nose of N56200 contacted the front of a Robinson R44 helicopter which had been parked between the other two.
Is that the helicopters, or the hangars, or both that seem to be AWOL?
Or both?
Or did they exist as that figment of imagination that had some peculiar assertion that 'solo' is a simile for 'alone in the cockpit'?
And the
'Nature of Damage - Damage to propellor and tears to the left wing' seems wonderful, given there is no similar Accident Report for the severely damaged Robinson R44.
Curiouser and curiouser, cried Alice
