Once again I find myself running a day late. I spent the weekend attending my niece's hockey tournament in Toronto. She lives with my wife and I to attend school as she comes from a small Northern Ontario town where educational opportunities are at a minimum. The fact she plays hockey is a bonus for me as my kids are all grown up and it has been a few years since I had an excuse to hang out at the rinks. It was all worth the time in T.O. as her team finished second, losing in the championship game 2-1. Anyhow, today's selection of pics are a bunch of oldies. Some airframes no longer are with us, others have changed owners and C/S, some more than once. Hope you like the trip down memory lane.

The damage to the 109 was caused by striking a pole just after takeoff. The story involves a neighbour beside the private airfield who was less that happy about the aircraft flying around so he decided to erect a set of 40' (IIRC) poles on his own property just next to the private airfield. The plot of the 109 experienced an electrical issue immediately after takeoff and was dealing with that issue when the aircraft struck one of the poles causing the damage shown. While unfortunate, great skill was shown by the pilot ( John Romain) and he was able to land back at the airfield. A court battle ensued to which I am not aware of the outcome if one has in fact been reached.

If anyone here has more or better information regarding this incident please feel free to correct me.


Have a great week one and all,

Cheers,

Jeff

Nice ones, Jeff. Glad to hear that the 109 pilot could bring it back in one piece. What kind of idiot puts poles in his yard to create an aviation hazard? I would venture to guess the airport was there when he moved into the neighborhood. People like that really tick me off.
 
That's at Russel's airfield I presume. When did that happen Jeff? If Neil is still around, I'm sure he could shed some light on this incident as he lives close by.
