Bankstown crash
Just saw on the news where a C152 (HCE) crashed shortly after takeoff from Bankstown. Plane is upside down in a nearby paddock. Both pilot & passenger unharmed.

It landed upside down apparently, very impressive!
Media said a while ago that although the firies attended there was no fire & no fuel spill. Sounds a bit strange, doesn't it?!

No fuel spill? Good demonstration of airmanship there, using the forward fuel dump system of the C152 before impact. Has prevented many a post-impact fire.
