The two Mossie pics are of "F for Freddie" doing some low passes in Calgary in May 9, 1945. The next day, she clipped the control tower and crashed, killing both occupants.

Yup, thats where I got the pics. There was a recent thread about it.

That was mine. And F for Freddie's reincarnation in the form of the newly restored Mosquito at Victoria Air Maintenance (deHavilland Mosquito Restoration Project - Victoria Air Maintenance Ltd) is set to have another go at its first flight next week. A couple of weeks ago, it cooked a starter that had to be replaced.

Good shots guys!

I acho the post above.

Obviously the picture has been altered (there is not even a prop) but I thought what the heck!

I should imagine that if you had a small jet with an air intake mounted quite high on the fuselage then it would be able to get low enough to the land surface that ground effect would become a factor.

Ground effect generally is effective within one wing-span of the ground. Even with a prop, you can get low enough for it to become an issue.

looks like a stick and paper decoy
maybe someone threw it like a glider?
no markings

Capt. Vick · Jun 2, 2014

I believe it's a Belgian attack aircraft or some sort, pre-war.

Capt. Vick · Jun 2, 2014

Wow! Look at this!

Holy sh!t!! What were they thinking??

And I just realized that there was another person just standing there staring at the aircraft as it was approaching...

Capt. Vick · Jun 3, 2014

This guy should have his license revoked

Njaco · Jun 3, 2014

Is it even possible for that type of aircraft to safely land on a sandy beach? Or even that section of the beach?

gumbyk · Jun 3, 2014

He didn't land on the beach. What you can't see in that frame is that he lands just short of the runway, and takes out a fence.

Looks almost like a glide approach gone wrong
