Picture taken shortly before the fateful collision that resulted in the crash of Mustang D-FBBD. In this series of my shots the Skyraider pilot is looking out to the right as 'Big Beautiful Doll' breaks high and to the left. A few seconds later they both collide in the turn and the Mustang was lost but fortunately the pilot was able to bale out in the nick of time.
