Re: "Airshow horror............."
That was the first Stampe that I flew in.....G-BEPC. I seem to have a habit of flying in an aeroplane and something happens to it. I use to fly in a Wassmer Europa a lot in the 80s and then after a gap of sitting in the back of Harvards for a few years, had one more Wassmer flight and then within three weeks, it flew into a hill near Teignmouth. A year later I had a flight in a DR400 and a week later that was written off too.
Don't ever ask me to go flying with you!
Best wishes,
Martin

I think you actually mean................don't fly in any aircraft I have been in!!I seem to have a habit of flying in an aeroplane and something happens to it. I use to fly in a Wassmer Europa a lot in the 80s and then after a gap of sitting in the back of Harvards for a few years, had one more Wassmer flight and then within three weeks, it flew into a hill near Teignmouth.

This should be a lesson to all. NEVER try and handswing an aircraft without chocks...........

Hi Eric - take it from someone who was there - no it didn't!
This chap had also been warned about doing this a few days before at another aerodrome.
