Putting the statement ' any landing you can walk away from is a good one" to the test. ( The pilot did walk away from this )

Engine trouble lead to a dead stick landing attempt. The pilot had to pull up over the trees behind the cornfield to make the field. In doing so he stalled the aircraft and prematurely harvested some corn.


Here she is in better times.

Lets finish off the Mk. V thread with a mix eras although there is not as much separation between the two aircraft types in terms of construction as one may think. This Mitchell was built in 1945 I believe and the Tutors, IIRC started rolling of the line in 1963 so we are looking at as little as 15 years to about 20 max.

Cheers,

Jeff
