"Airshow horror............."

[Prop Jockey]

You gotta love the Daily Mails sense of drama .........................

Airshow horror as biplane takes off without pilot and crashes into trees

Shame about the Stampe tho :-(

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!!

Indeed Nigel.. that would be a more accurate statement. I think Martin leaves them possessed!

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

[Erick_Cantu]

It had chocks, it just jumped them.

[Tom Everitt AFG]

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.
