B25 is the chase plane, no sqawks yet

Codes on the side, VR-A

As above, it did not make power, a TOP airman who was actually flying the aeroplane has stated quite clearly, now lets see some of you armchair investigators be in the same position as Chris and see your decision making.
It is irrelevant surmising, something went wrong/let go,the pilot has explained, we have had plenty of incidents where the pilot has not commented publicly.
Just be pleased it all ended how it did, as safe and sound as it could be.

No, it was scrap. A real shame, one of the last NOS cuffed-blade Hamilton Standard props in existance, it lasted a grand total of four hours of flight time. 🙁

MISS HELEN the ex Robs Lamplough P51 also had cuffed blades

STUNNING STUNNING STUNNING airmanship

It is interesting to note that the gear appears to have been cycled twice. Film shows him pulling up trailing smoke, at altitude, with the gear down. The film of the landing then shows him on short finals with the flaps down but gear up again, with the gear being extended once again just before touchdown.

If you are told or notice your gear is not giving the greens it makes sense to recycle it if time/power allows, shows the pilot was on the ball totally.

Hats off to the pilot, I have just seen the landing video another good outcome from an engine letting go, all safe n sound with some work to be done.
