Accident site found: Landing gear from Bulldog?
Hi.
I'm new to this list and I am not a pilot. On a recent hike in Northern California, our group stumbled upon an aviation accident site. The wreckage included part of a wing and part of a landing gear. No tail number was evident. We notified the forest rangers, but I am not yet convinced that this accident has been previously reported. I tried to report the accident site to the NTSB, but they said that they would take no action without a tail number. Searching online, I did find a report a of recent, fatal Scottish Aviation Bulldog accident in the nearby area (N706X: about 1.5 miles from the site we discovered). However, I compared photos of the landing gear we found (straight strut) to online pictures of the Bulldog T1's front gear (curved strut). To me, the two do not seem to match, but I can't be entirely sure. I have posted photographs of the landing gear that we found on Google: http://picasaweb.google.com/wankywonk I was hoping that someone on this list could say whether what we found could have come from a Bulldog. Finally, to the family and friends of the victims of recent fatal Bulldog accident in Northern California, please accept my condolences. Thank you in advance for any assistance. Steve |

In article . com,
SEG wrote: http://picasaweb.google.com/wankywonk It looks strange that the landing gear does not have any structural airframe remnants attached -- it appears to be just a loose assembly. The LG also appears to be a main gear, as opposed to a nosewheel -- witness the fact that there is no fork. Could it be a result of an inflight breakup? |
