moggybean 0 #1 June 18, 2012 A good friend of mine is 70 early next month and I am planning a bit of a surprise for him. He told me a story of an accident he had in the mid 70s - Article is at: http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=336&dat=19740318&id=v68qAAAAIBAJ&sjid=9lsEAAAAIBAJ&pg=5755,3799766 From what he and his partner tell me his is very lucky to be alive. Apparently the closing pins on his belly mounted reserve were too short and came loose whilst he was in the door pulling him out - and part of the doorframe too. As part of his surprise I would like to remind all of his friends how lucky they are to be able to celebrate his birthday with him. If anyone knows any more info on Andy's incident (a pic of the aircraft would be great) I would sure appreciate it. PM if you don't want all to see. Thanks Colin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
