SE5A bent at YCAB

[TBM-Legend]

Yesterday the nice SE5A replica was ground looped at CAB yesterday with some serious damage. 2 POB both OK although one trapped in the front cockpit for awhile...

Let's hope she's repairable

The passenger, or the aircraft?

In both cases, I am sure it will buff out..... :-)

Two people in a SE5A? Not a F2B by any chance?

Believe it or not they did convert some to two seaters. The RAAF operated some in the '20's..

Confirmed - I was there. Circuit training. Ground loop made worse by the collapse/failure of the RH wheel. Both occupants unscathed. Substantial damage and now up to the insurers for a decision.
