Wow - that was close. I'm surprised that local airport ops allowed this to happen.

Cheers

Yeah, I like the way the plane emerges from the grass - and the sound of that Merlin engine. I think it was worthy of an OT post

His parents should have taught him to say 'dang' or 'cheese and crusties' or 'my golly gosh that was a low flying aeroplane'. I think there would be a bit of editing back at the studio.

What a classic, and of course the cameraman wasn't going to say a word.

Hehe yeah this is an oldie, but a good one.

Myself and my dad worked out using the shadow of the plane and the wingspan that it can't have been more than 16 feet I think it was above him, and the props on those things aren't small.

Wow, a moment's distraction would make for quite a nasty splat on the side of that lighthouse.

Watch for rogue waves!
