I had a minor 'dig' about him on the old WW forum and got a bit more back than I was ready for! I still laugh about the first 'flight' of the DEFENDER when the nosewheel strut broke on taxiing out to takeoff. lol... If it broke whilst taxiing think what wound've happened on landing, hmmm the words 'prang' and 'he's gonna' spring to mind. I've always wondered exactly how much work was required in getting his Hurri airborne as it seemed like quite a nice aircraft pre-fire. Oh well as we say in the East 'yer gotta laugh boy!'
