ave8rr Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 Kununurra aerodrome was closed for two hours yesterday morning when a Replica Spitfire was involved in a Take off incident. http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/a/-/newshome/11492280/kununurra-crash-mars-charity-flight/ The occupants were both ok.
Teckair Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 is this the same one that had engine problems near perth , I don't think so.
Gnarly Gnu Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 That is sad.... freight back to Brisbane would be scary costly on top of the repairs but glad they are OK.
ave8rr Posted November 9, 2011 Author Posted November 9, 2011 is this the same one that had engine problems near perth , No. That aircraft was through here though some months back then had the engine problems on departure out of Jandakot. Cheers
Guest ozzie Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 This is skydiving friend Brian Scoffell from Willowbank. what a blow for the trip. really glad no one was injured. looks like some major work ahead to get it back in the air. We were looking forward to his visit at our dropzone. Ozzie
Ballpoint 246niner Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 Hey ozz, any more details, was scoffs son with him, are they OK?
Guest ozzie Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 Yes his boy was doing the trip with him. both OK. The jump vine says gust induced ground loop and one leg gave way.
