More of an "incident" than a "crash" IMHO.

Standard Mail Online inaccurate sensationalist reporting!

A 'Crash'? :lol:

No, it's nothing more than an incident, can somebody amend the thread title please?

Good old DM, surprised it didn't mention the spiral dive at Mach2 and the WE177 on board...

How many incidents has this aircraft had? I remember one when I was there in the late 80s

Didn't have one when I flew on it years ago. Taildraggers can be tricky in crosswinds [or any winds]. The landing is never over until the aircraft is stationary!.

Incident or crash? Don't care what anyone says it was still a crash of some sorts.
