I missed the incident by 2 minutes but heard the backfire/crunch of the collision as I walked along the access lane. Two of my friends who did witness, both described the aircraft hitting a bump, bouncing and hardly climbing away. I would add that there was a cross wind component that built up as the the afternoon heat increased, not saying that it had an influence though.

Where in Dunstable did the bomb land?

PJ is at Lasham and has been for a long time.

Excellently organised day out, I and Busterette had a fabulous time. The smell of hydraulic fluid, oil and Jet A1 took me back to my youth!

This also brought back a few memories yesterday!

Said aircraft is now naked on the port side and was today doing high power engine runs.

Now fitted with four engines and props.
