Incident at Thistle Island
Rumour has it that a C210 was badly damaged at Thistle Island yesterday when a possum caused the U/C to collapse on taxying. Prop/engine doors etc all stuffed. No word on damage to possum though.

Must've been a bloody big possum!

Possible stowaway affecting nosegear on landing �� Stowaway possums have occurred before on Thistle Island and Kangaroo Island also for that matter.

Poor bugger. It happens.
Somewhere in in the archives of the BBCis footage of me landing amd rolling out on a 210 and an agile wallaby trying to cut across in front and did its panic slide underneath behind the nose wheel.....

I remember going out to turn on the runway lights one night and there was a possum hanging around a Partenavia in the parking bay. When spooked it actually tried to jump into the left engine cowling.
It had the misfortune to land virtually at the feet of the dog.
