I know one of the Spitfire restorations is the The low back version that crashed in Sweden I think.

You mean Norway?

I’ve been thinking the same thing about the break, as logically, one would think the left one should go first. I wasn’t gonna say anything as I don’t wanna put my mouth where my knowledge is not, but since the above poster mentioned it and seemed to have some experience…

I was in Le Fertais after the accident. I asked one of the pilots if the Skyraider pilot was ok and he said he was, but seemed to put the blame with Rob Davies. I didn’t pursue the conversation.

I guess the right people will put the blame where it should be, but I honestly have to say that I can’t see how the Frenchies will come out on top on this one.

Thanks.

Am I right in thinking the wooden blades shatter rather than bend like aluminium would, thereby protecting the engine and reduction gearbox from some of the worst shock loads.

Sounds logical to me
