Default crash at duxford today [2011]
Both pilots alive no one hurt!
P51 collided with a skyraider when peeling away, took a chuck outta the A1's wing which the pilot got control of and landed, but the p51 was un-saveable and the pilot had to bail out. But no one was hurt which is the main thing.

Without speculating too much ,seemed it was the Skyraider that collided with the P51 according to witnesses. http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/sho...=110391&page=2
I took this 1 minute before they collided,BBD P51 infront .


The ground them now brigade will have a field day.

Damn it had to be the "Big Beautiful Doll" I have seen countless images of that particular P-51 . Was hoping to see it at some point.

Did not see the collision directly as i was looking at the planes taxiing on the ground but it was shocking seeing debris falling from the sky then we saw a parachute open and the skyraider make an emergency landing.

Its fantastic to hear that both pilots were ok. Looked fooking low and fast bailout to me.

Feeeewwwwww....
