Archerfield prang this morning 20/05/21

[The Baron]

Anybody know what happened around 0900am this morning? Looked like a Piper Arrow from the big flying school. Towed away with the nose on a trailer behind a ute.

So this never happened? Picture taken at 0906am local.
Come on guys, don't be shy.

I love it when someone tells us with reasonable detail what happened, and asks "anybody know what happened?"

For the sake of the rest of us we certainly don't know.

Other than a statement that parts of the aircraft were removed by ute+trailer there's nothing in this thread that gives any indication of the cause - certainly nothing that we might learn from (other than, perhaps, to avoid random trailers laying about runways).

So, it seems a fair question to me?

[The Baron]

Like nearly all pilots, I can learn a lot from other's mistakes. That is why the "Crash Comics" were so popular. I suppose since it would appear to be an IRM, it will turn up in the ATSB occurrence briefs in the next month or so. For Thunderbird 5, I have no idea what occurred, hence the query. If it doesn't appear I will ask an FOI, no skin off my nose.

Was that C150 being assisted by forklift ( nose wheel bent backwards ) back to maintenance hangar this morning another casualty
