Not that it matters now, since that aircraft has no engines, I wonder where they were going to put that airplane, on the roof of a glider store?

[cmarlow]

I am not quite sure but it looks like they hit the crane boom with the wing of the plane. Is that what I am seeing?

I agree....

we have a saying for that in the UK

its the income tax document you are handed when your employment is terminated, otherwise known as been handed your cards.

No engines just 10 tonnes of under carriage, um decoy on top of building makes sense now

the owner isn't there watching his pride and joy being destroyed, no one is screaming and thumping their head.

so.. they didnt just catch it flying by like a bug......?in a snare....?I think it was rubber band powered and the rubber band got cought in the cranes hook....

Something tells me the "Brute Force and Ignorance Method" was used in lieu of any Engineering Calculations of weight, height, angle etc. in this situation. Obviously the crane boom collapsed. Was it the wing? I'm not sure.

Somewhere in a CAA office far far away an investigator has just dropped his cup of coffee.
