G-BTFK accident at Willow Farm 19/06/17

Its not very nice when you hear of an aircraft accident and its even worse when you know the aircraft and people involved. My good friend Mick Ward had a landing incident at his strip at Willow Farm where the aircraft finish up inverted. Luckily Mick and his passenger were not seriously hurt, but Mick has been kept in hospital. I have had the pleasure of flying with Mick on several occasions and have done a few air 2 air photos shoots with BTFK. 

Today is Mick's birthday, so happy Birthday and get well soon mate.

Good to hear your friends are safe, and let's hope they, and TFK are airborne again before too long.
I saw this lovely old Taylorcraft at the Tatenhill fly in last month.

Best wishes to your pals for a speedy recovery Chris.

Indeed it's good to know that everyone survived the incident, and if *FK is repairable so much the better. I last saw *FK at a Popham fly-in only a year or two ago.

Sadly, BTFK was damaged beyond economical repair. The airframe has been sold on to another Taylorcraft owner to be used as a parts supply.
