In an old '1950's 60's to 70s' saying ... now how many rivets were their when flying in formation on a Bristol Freighter

by **kiwibarguy** » Tue Aug 26, 2008 3:46 pm

A kiwi pilot once said "40,000 rivets flying in close formation".

...and then, with extreme presence of mind, he assumed the streamlined freefall position, dived after the plane, and caught it by the tail at the bottom of the dive!
Then, hand over hand up the fuselage, into the back seat, before the pilot could figure out why his plane felt a little light...

D'you believe this story???

by **Charl** » Fri Sep 05, 2008 8:55 am

Nah...this gent was killed in a Nanchang crash near Moruya airport NSW earlier in the year.
Way to go, doing what you love to do...

by **Naki** » Fri Sep 05, 2008 9:18 am

Hi name was Graeme Camage - he was performing aerobatics when he lost control and crashed on a beach near Moruya. He was a member of The Australian Warbirds Association and was an importer of the Nanchangs.

There are approx 33 Nanchangs in Aussie and 5 in NZ.

Website · by **Njbb1995** » Fri Sep 05, 2008 9:21 am

Only 5 in NZ I would have thought there would have been more than that.

by **Naki** » Fri Sep 05, 2008 9:32 am

Yes I agree considering the amount of pics you see of them etc - but thats what an Aussie mag I have states that has a list of warbirds in Austraila and NZ. I also double checked it on the CAA website.
