Corsair lands gear up in Australia

I saw this elsewhere and thought I'd post a link.
Nobody seriously hurt.
It is a short video, with, what is possibly, the worst choice of "music". Not my doing.

This was a lovely restoration in Argentinian markings. Hopefully a speedy recovery.

Fortunately it is only damage to an aircraft, and it can/will be repaired, but I really feel badly for the owner, Graham Hosking - his beautiful Ryan STA was severely damaged as well in a forced-landing just a few months ago: http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/light ... spn16.html

Hopefully this short span of really bad luck doesn't discourage him too badly.

Honduran.

A shame, I am hoping to see it at Tyabb 2018.

Honduran.
My mistake.

Sorry.
I really do like these colours. Very original and unique.

Okay they can make flaps from scratch and even the cowling pieces. Where do they keep finding propellor blades that are still airworthy?

[Speeddemon651]

Wastpac in Colorado Springs might be able to straighten a few blades depending on how bad they were bent. It won't be cheap though.

We have NOS props for the F4U and can get more, they really are not that difficult to locate.

Were any model of Corsair props used on any other aircraft or were they unique to the Corsair?
