My old friend and school teacher at one time was called ‘Pranger’ Eric Barfoot as he wrote of a few aircraft in his time in the RAF. He did write of his favourite a Gloster Gladiator when it had a tyre bust on landing, 18/10/43.

A T6 did have a problem, it pulled out of the race. Trailing smoke, landed ok with a hot engine. The Hellcat taxed into a truck I think. I turned to take a photo of the Bearcat following so missed it. No one looked hurt. They moved the Hellcat back to the pits. Later moved it again with prop tips covered.
