Lanc on one engine - could it fly?
Back in the '90's I was lucky enough to see the late Bob Hoover doing his 'energy management' display in a Rockwell Commander, with both props feathered.
Absolutely amazing!

I love the phrase "nearly missing" from the Aviation Safety Net page linked above:-
"On touch down, the Avro Lincoln developed an uncontrollable swing and crashed off the edge of the airfield, nearly missing an estate of some newly built NCO married quarters and slewed around ending up on a rubbish dump"
Presumably "narrowly missing" or "nearly hitting" perhaps?
