Scotsman Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 (edited) Just see this story on the BBC News site T20 Crash I really don't know how I feel about this , Like most here I love to see Warbirds in the air where they belong , but the crash of the TBM 2 weeks ago and now this , It's going to reignite the arguments about preservation Vs Flight all over again I guess Edited April 28, 2021 by Scotsman Boomers can't proof read!

LSP_Ron Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 This plane was just repaired after it force landed back in I think 2014. It's also the second two seater Fury to crash in the last year. WG655 went down last summer in the UK At least in all three cases nobody was really hurt. D.B. Andrus and USMC Herc 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winnie Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Well the pilot of the last one this past year did hurt his back some, but he's back flying again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamfists nz Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Did it still have the original Bristol Centaurus engine and the 5 blade prop? If so, that’s a rare bird..and also a million moving parts and a candidate for engine problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
