Basler Crash

If you look at my October blog you will see this plane at Rothera in better condition.
It was the first plane to touch down at Rothera after winter.

What happened is, as the plane went to take off and it reached flying speed, one side of the plane went up and the other didn't. The left wing got caught in the ice and sent the plane tumbling.

Nasty

This plane was the show piece of the Borek fleet.
