Classic British Flight Sim

When it ends up with one engine & no gear:

Lanseria, 1977:





"During its display, the pilot completely misjudged his "recovery" from a manouevre, and struck the runway with an enormous clang. Amazingly he began to climb away leaving a large cloud of dust behind!  On the runway behind him was an assortment of components including an engine and the landing gear! The second wing-mounted engine was hanging vertically from the wing. The climb out was made using the third fin-mounted engine which continued to function for about ten seconds after which the remnants of the Trislander made a rapid descent hitting the ground beyond the runway creating an even bigger cloud. Amazingly there were no fatalities alfhough the two crew members sustained serious back injuries, from which happily they would both recover."

Wow, lucky indeed. Glad to hear they will make a full recovery. Could have been a lot worse.

Quite so!

Whilst no.2 apparently only operated for about 10 seconds after impact it probably gave them a bit more influence over where the crash site would be!

Looks like one of my landings.

If someone could make a trislander effect that did that on hard landings, that would be cool.

A classic Roger Bacon moment there:
