Photo Comment

Whilst parked on the temporary BHAM site during the gales of 5 September 1967, this recently renovated aircraft was lifted 15ft into the air and thrown over Anson TX211, parked alongside. The nose of the Anson was crushed and the Magister came to rest across the wings of the Anson and Drover VH-EAS, which suffered only slight damage. The Magister was destroyed.
