Re: 3 RAAF Beauforts colliding clip
The video I have got involves Beauforts A9-27 and A9-268, Jervis Bay, 14-4-43.
The three Beauforts come in in very close formation. When the leader pulls up, its tail gets caught by his starboard wingman wingtip. He loses his tail and crashes in the sea after an uncontrolled "chandelle". Destabilized, the wingman crashes too. Guy

Re: 3 RAAF Beauforts colliding clip
Aah! Once you told us it was Jervis Bay, a search found it immediately!
The crash clip and names of the 8 crew killed can be seen here http://www.divetheworld.com/Diving/w...Beafort-Crash/ Is there any way a crash might be survivable once an empennage is removed at that altitude? Was death in this case by impact or drowning? Last edited by Nonny; 14th May 2005 at 23:08.
