Took the old and trusted Charly 150 to the oldtimer fly-in at Schaffen Diest in Belgium today.
On landing after a formation arrival from Antwerp the Fokker D-8 from the Stampe Museum was caught by the cross-wind and turned off the left side of the runway. The aircraft turned over in spectacular fashion sustaining severe damage. Luckily the pilot escaped without injury.
Perhaps not a real warbird but thought it might nevertheless be of interest.
