There was a Horsa fuselage at Old Stratford, Bucks in the late 60s early 70s on the right hand side of the road as you came out of Stony Stratford. It had curtain’s in the windows. I was told that it was burnt later.

Dave

The aircraft we where told where made of paper and the pilots all had bad eye site, so my my dad heard! But my grandad told him that they had been told’ That sort of thing in the Great War (WW1) about the German’s. He had a great respect for the Germans after 1917 when he was wounded.

After the crash of G-AKJD, they lifted the whole wing off in one piece. The pilot was then lifted out of the cockpit with a bloody nose. I can’t remember his name. I did have a newspaper cutting of the event. People where told to stop smoking! I stil remeber the Boom the fabric made as it hit the ground. For some years later the local photographer had 3 or 4 photos of the crash in his shop window. He has now past way, I thinks the Dunstable Histoy society may know was happened to his collection of photos.
