thanks JDK, that was some interesting reading.
What I keep on seeing on these kinda accident report is sentences similar to this “The aircraft
was then observed to complete a number of uncontrolled manoeuvres before control appeared to
have been regained, but at too low height to prevent impact with the ground.” 🙁

it probably depends on when the prop itself stops spinning..
If the prop hits the ground while the plane is advancing they will surely bend backwards, but if the plane impacts a surface like water, which of course is less dense than ground and allows the props to spin even when the plane finally comes to a stop, it is plausible that they may bend forward. But I guess this is only possible in water..Unless u r taxiing backwards (pilatus anyone?) and yr landing gears collapse :rolleyes:

Lanolin (basically liquified sheep) is applied to control cables to stop them corroding.

yup, that reminds me of the boring (and smelly!) afternoons that I spent brushing the Tiger Moth cables with it, expecially the external ones that go to the tail surfaces.
How’s it goin with yr Rearwin ol’ chap?

Who are you to say its a Static airframe!!!!! it flew not that long ago when in the UK. As for a FW190-D that is in Airworthy condition that has all the Original parts still in place, now think about it!!!!! ALL THE ORIGINAL PARTS! All the parts that were on it when it came off the production line!!!!!
And as for NOT THAT RARE!! now you are talking B******S!!!!! How many original WW1 fighters do you know out there? At the end of the day any 90 year old aeroplane is gona have had a few bits changed, so OK its been rebuilt, but what aeroplane of that age, or younger hasent!

easy mate… I said “I guess”, not “the airframe is static”
I expressed my opinions after watching the pics of the plane, that doesnt look to be in great shape.. As per the rarity, I think the LVG that used to fly at Shuttleworth is way more unique: the only original flying german plane of WWI..
