rkranias Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Sopwith Triplane crash 29 June, 2014. Pilot unhurt, scarey and sad to watch. Good news: Pilot ok, and plane is repairable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daywalker Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 That is sad to watch, not much worse than watching a beautiful aircraft crumple like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulster Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 I have a love/hate feeling about flying these old warbirds. Because when their gone, they're gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One-Oh-Four Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Paul, I don't think it's an original, rather a Vintage Aviator replica. But it still hurts to look at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RalphSarc Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Oh my that had to hurt! Glad the pilot survived and equally good to hear that beautiful plane was repairable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave J Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Paul, I don't think it's an original, rather a Vintage Aviator replica. But it still hurts to look at it. Thats not one of the Vintage Aviator builds... It was built by Northern Aeroplane Workshop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradG Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Oooops. Doesn't look like there's too much damage so I'm sure it will be repaired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawman56 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Ironically, even a replica crashes just like the real thing. Makes me wince to see it, but give me a greater appreciation of the bravado it took to fly those things! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
