Anson Is As Anson Does

Post by JohnWillimas »

I was wandering through the internet in search of Anson related stuff after my purchase of the FS Add On bird and came across this...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1940_Brock ... _collision

I hadn't heard of it before and thought folk here might be interested.

Research required, Joe, research! :lol:

That really is some story.
The follow up text makes some sad reading, though.
Fancy surviving that, then being killed by a bus. :(
Cheers, Mike.
