Interesting that the filmed accident (wheels up landing) was caused not by enemy fire, but by a tangled headset cord.
It’s the little unexpected things that can get you...:^)

Thanks for that Video.
Mount Field AFB was located only 10miles up the road from where I am now.
It has always been a local rumour, without a name.
Some of it now has a village(Berinsfield) built upon it, the rest was returned to farmland.
Great Story.
