Michou Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Colombier, Neuchâtel, 1980 A strong, north-east wind, Switzerland's infamous bise, was blowing straight down the runway. No problems while on the runway but when the aircraft turned to leave it... The wind started to lift the right wing in spite of full aileron. He lost it. The crowd look at the damage. A bent aileron and wing tip. A sad pilot taxis away. The aircraft is an ex-Swiss Air Force Dornier Do 27H-2. This is the version with the "wide" track undercarriage!

Good looking a/c This particular Do 27 was written off (damaged beyond repair)in 1982. There is still one Do 27 on the Swiss register, HB-LEU, and several more around the world.
