Here's another flavorful landing caught in the act. This is an Aussie Spitfire Mk VIII making a belly landing. Enjoy.

Amazing when you touch those props ,its like they just couldn't bend and yet when the planes come in contact with the ground they bend like spagetti

Nice pics guys!

When that prop hit the ground the engine was barely turning or those props would of looked a lot worse.

Somewhat OT, but how did the Anson end up in that 'compromising' position with the Whitley?!

Im intrested in how the P-47 pilot made it home. What did he do. Stick his head out of the bubble top. But if so how did he not get sprayed with oil. Must have been a intresting landing indeed!

Both aircraft belonged to 19 OTU. Photographed after night accident, Kinloss, 19/10/43. Anson pilot mistook airfield controller's signal and landed on top of Whitley as it was starting to take off. Nobody injured. Whitley Mk V N1369 UO*U written off. Anson Mk I DJ104 XF*K reparied and flew again.

Bit of an oops then. Crazy landing, must of been interesting to hear the comment of the R/T.
