WWII fighter plane crash lands



A rare World War II fighter plane has crashed landed at an airfield in Essex. Fire crews were called to North Weald Airfield where the Hawker Hurricane Mark II came down at 1140 GMT. An Essex Fire Service spokesman said the plane is thought to have had a problem with its landing gear but no one was hurt in the accident. The spokesman said no one was trapped in the plane and there was no leaking fuel. The Ambulance Service also attended the incident.


From the photo on the report it looks like more of a heavy landing than a crash.



more ammuntion for the museum boys. i say fly em.

looks like a pretty small "crash". she looks in pretty good shape. the word "crash" has all kinds of interpretations. probably sold a lot of newspapers with it though..

i thought the brits just use t and a to sell papers?

This just jogged my memory. Over the weekend we lost a TBM in New Jersey (Millville, IIRC). This was a fire and except for the cowling and the tail everything else is burned.

Not so much now. These days the tabloid press make up stories about people and get away with it. They also manipulate events to get a better story. Our tabloid press are filth.

not much better here. i don't do news anymore.

how is Heather Mills getting along these days - still hated for messing with Paul McCartney?

I'll never understand how she did so well in court - I didn't think she had a leg to stand on.

Bad dawg... bad...

Newscast video here, better pics of aftermath, but no video of fire or crash itself.
