This Corsair, I'm assuming, was trying to make a carrier landing but was going to fast, ending up with him stuck vertically (it's from a video, that's how I know), and he broke 2 wires in this. To the pilot, I salute you for your not being able to understand that you must land at a certain speed (lol).

Is it knocked out and I just can't see it? If not, why the hell is there a cavalrymen and his horse standing in front of it? Anyways, excellent picture Wurger!

Who knows what problems the poor pilot was dealing with. Not funny to me.

The reason for the carsh wasn't the speed during the final approaching but the altitude. In the film it can be noticed that the main mistake the pilot made was too high flare. As a result the arresting hook missed the first braking cable and at least two next one as well. And this resulted in getting caught up in the crash barrier.

Here a couple of screenshots from the documentary..

Tunisia, IMO, so not surprising. Good wines there.

Wurger · Mar 31, 2019

Sir, the tommies have us circled in. We're in a rather prickly situation...(cue drum rimshot!)

It looks to me like they are deciding where to put the kitchen. They have to build soon as the tent leaks.
