dark light

Harvard u/c failure North Weald

The Essex Fire Brigade website shows that they recently attended an incident at NW in which a ‘light’ (?) aircraft experienced
locking brakes whilst taxiing. This appears to have occured yesterday.

Think he was lucky – prop looks OK so he didnt nerf that and shock stall the engine (£££!)

Looks like he/she still has to spend some £££££££££ on the wing. Maybe it would have been less expensive if they just had to overhaul the engine:confused:

Which harvard is this? Does someone have a registration? I hope there isn’t much damage to the wing. It looks like it just didn’t hit the ground so I hope for the best.

Greets,

hard to tell form the pic?

It does appear to look like the stbd landing gear leg has partially snapped or bent about halfway up.
