Plane found

[Tom Burgess]

Long shot but I have been contacted by someone in Swettenham, Cheshire who has found a large blue plank in a field. If you know who this belongs to please PM me.

How can you simply lose an plane and not do anything [ apparently ] to find it???

I once left the plank field with nothing but my TX and starting gear... Some bugger shot me down on 35mhz and my plank found the roof of a disused warehouse the most attractive thing as it tore downwards at full throttle and shattered on impact. Even the crankcase was in several pieces and so it was left. No point endangering my safety to retrieve a bin bag full of splinters.

Well, the rightful owner has been found. I asked him to give me a description of engine, electronics, fuel tank and the placement of all these things and he was spot on.

He is very happy and amazingly that plank was built in 1938 originally as free flight until the owner converted it.

Power of the internet eh ? :)

Cheers Tony, your call was the missing link :cheers2:

[glen_j]

any story as to how he lost it?

[tonystevens]

apparantly his battery failed and they watched it climb into the clouds for 15 mins until they could see it no more,the uncanny part is how its still in one peice!:):confused:

When i first started flying planks the motor cut out and landed in a field of rapeseed!! seen exactly where it in went but could i find, 2 hrs i spent wading through the stuff and still nothing had to wait 6 weeks till the farmer was ready to harvest it! 6 was found all together :ack2:
