    they already have a He111 on display at Hendon, so why not taking the Casa back to the air?

    well, the 190 was an all electrical plane, and since it was so advanced for its time it wouldnt surprise me that it had a battery reserve to turn it on.. but apart for that the layout is really clean and “easy”. The automatic pitch and mixture system then might have helped him, but I’d wait for the last word of Martin before going any further 😉

    i dunno chaps, but seems like u r too worried about the “politically correct”..
    Since the beginning of flying there were accidents, and ppl joking or talking about them.. Honestly, I never met a pilot who wouldnt joke about a friend’s mishap like a wheels up landing (“he just changed the tires and didnt want to make them dirt!”).. I’ve heard even black humour about more serious accidents, and found myself smiling at it.. It’s something normal I think, everybody do something stupid at least once in a lifetime, this doesnt make him a moron or a subnormal, it’s just that we’re human beings. Of course we can learn something from other’s accidents, but a pilot who flew the same plane for 30 years without reading the checklist everytime won’t start doing it after he hears about an accident.. it’s just a matter of “pilot education”…

    we had the very same mishap here with the G.59, when the owner landed her wheels up.. the passenger in the plane felt sick and praised the pilot to land. He was in a stress situation and forgot about the landing gears..
    u can have mechanical witnesses, green lights, horns etc… but it happens…
    I heard another nice story by a former air force pilot, who was monitoring his pupil from the tower during a T-6 night flying. During the landing flare they could fairly see the propeller disk getting smaller and smaller and only after a good 30 secs they realised what was going on: the poor sod landed on the fixed tailwheel and flaps!! 😀

    Sad day today as a few of us,mainly close friends of Paul Morgan watched SUSY lift from the Sywell grass for the first time in nearly 5 years and probably for the last time in the forseable future.

    wait a minute, u mean that Susy will not fly again??? 🙁
