Good grief! What a lucky cameraman. He'll be looking for another hobby!
Re: Beaver Close Call
Glad no one was hurt, but its painful to watch such a classic aircraft damaged like that. Hopefully it can be repaired.

For one awful moment, I imagined Graham had posted this. I was quite relieved to see it was the flying sort!

Re: Beaver Close Call
With out knowing the facts, it did seem that a cut throttle when things seemed to get a bit dicey would have stopped him in time
Luckily the rolling action as it went over it's own wing took most of the momentum out....it it had slammed head on into the house that would have been it.
FF 1950.........just as well it wasn't a new one :doho:

Re: Beaver Close Call
Dunno the validity, but if true, somewhat telling -
Facts:
1) Crashed 185 last year
2) Orthopedic Surgeon
3) NO wind
3) Price up beavers went up slightly
Rumor:
1) Wife bought him deceased beaver as present
2)Wife remarked after she would never fly with him again
Opinion
ALL license's revoked
Stick to medicine
