Talking of Hunters……

I remember reading an article about a Danish F51 Hunter being abandoned a few miles out from the air base after the pilot got into difficulty. The aircraft not only made it back to base but landed on the runway all be it in a wheels up landing. I even believe the aircraft was repaired and continued to fly with the Danish AF!

The article had a picture of the jet on the runway so will have to dig out the article!
