Very interesting, Dan. The one of the plane reminds me of a local incident
some years ago. SA Airways used to offer historic flights on a Junkers JU52
& Skymaster (DC6B) flown by volunteer veteran aircrews. The Junkers with its
slab sides was very susceptible to crosswinds. One day when it was landing
here, there was a sudden violent crosswind which took it off the runway &
into the Kruger Park boundary fence seriously damaging the right propeller &
scratching the paintwork. The passengers had a free overnight stay while a
replacement prop. was hurriedly brought in from Jhb. It was fitted the
following morning & about 20 aerosols used to touch up the paintwork. After
a delay of almost exactly 24 hours it was on its way again.
