Jock, no cynicism intended. I have been seriously impressed by your last few posts. Have you been on a spelling and articulacy course?

Not at all, I rely on your incomprehensible Scottish outbursts to keep up the amusement value in this place

I like A and C's stance on this.

Anyone know if the airframe has been looked at?

I am quite interest to know if there was any damage purely from the engineering side of things.

This aircraft crashed at Redhill 28th August, one fatality. Not the same pilot, who left the group.

BREAKING NEWS: Plane crashes at Redhill Aerodrome | This is Surrey

No idea of the cause, or whether this bump was connected. The aircraft has been involved in earlier accident reports. Registration withheld for the time being.


RIP

Back to the original point of this thread - saw a plane roll down an airifield slope and hit a car that was parked airside. Fist sized hole in fibre glass engine cowling and nose gear spat dented. Pilot proceeded to fly it home.
