ave8rr Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Kununurra aerodrome was closed for two hours yesterday morning when a Replica Spitfire was involved in a Take off incident. http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/a/-/newshome/11492280/kununurra-crash-mars-charity-flight/ The occupants were both ok.

Gnarly Gnu Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 That is sad.... freight back to Brisbane would be scary costly on top of the repairs but glad they are OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ave8rr Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 is this the same one that had engine problems near perth , No. That aircraft was through here though some months back then had the engine problems on departure out of Jandakot.

Guest ozzie Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 This is skydiving friend Brian Scoffell from Willowbank. what a blow for the trip. really glad no one was injured. looks like some major work ahead to get it back in the air. We were looking forward to his visit at our dropzone. Ozzie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
