[B]I too have seen too many crashes,just like to ask for a factual answer please,no hysterics just facts,Of the highly publiicised crashes,p38,mossie,buchon,p63 ,firefly,Rolls royce Spit at Woodford etc,if the aircraft had been 500 to 1000 feet higher how many of them would have had a chance to recover or at worst turn a fatal crash into a pancake with survivors?
buchon
Which Buchon crash are you referring to here?
Yes i was,it was a publicised incident,i have no idea of the cause of the crash as i have never seen a report about the incident,if you have perhaps you can enlighten us.I was trying to get across the fact that there have been many crashes involving different planes and for different reasons.
I appreciate that very little can be done with mechanical failure and even misjudgements on landing but i do wonder about some of the manouvres where the planes seem to be too slow and too low,all i asked was if anyone had studied the incidents and whether had the planes been higher they would’ve stood a more fighting chance of recovery.
I was not picking on the Buchon at all,i had a memory of these aircraft that over the years i had seen display and we have since sadly lost.
Somewhere down the line someone will have to look into these incidents before someone who could’nt care less about vintage flying gets into power and decides enough is enough.
Instead of criticsing me what would YOU do to ensure the planes stay where they should be,up in the air.
Don’t forget that we are in a minority,the average person on the streets could’nt care less whether they fly or not.
