Re: Museum Piece Takes Off
Hmmmmm, call me a sceptic, engineer pushed the throttle the wrong way did he, then froze and the plane just lifted?
I would have thought there was a fair margin between slow taxi up the runway and take off speed, perhaps an old 70 year old going for one last blat, before they don't let him near it again  Cheers Mark

Re: Museum Piece Takes Off
old news, and very much a story twisted by the press.
i was there on the day, the victor did not sore into the sky reaching 150ft and i am postitive the vast majority of witnesses who know a thing a too about aircraft will state the same. now the maintainers of this aircraft are exaggerating the story to get sponsors and donations to help keep the aircraft preserved. http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:b...84096fc2c4.jpg http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:a...t/be2aedcc.jpg these are non-tampered photographes, see one with the victor higher and it has been photo-shopped |
