Thank heaven both pilots will fly again. Despite the comments regarding light weight, high drag, low speed etc, I certainly wouldn’t want to have been in there!

Its a salutary remnder of how poor the visibility is in biplanes and triplanes of the era. And ten out of ten to the triplane pilot who seemed to make a safe landing although no doubt with a broken prop, the engine was trying to shake itself out of the airframe!
