Douglas AD-4N Skyraider F-AZDP

This aircraft was involved in a midair collision at the end of Flying Legends 2011, held at Duxford. During a run and break the aircraft pulled up to turn downwind when it's wing struck P-51D Mustang D-FBBD ( Big Beautiful Doll). For a few seconds it appeared as though the Skyraider was going to crash before the pilot regianed control and landed the aircraft on the grass runway. Sadly the Mustang was not so lucky and with the damage sustained the pilot, Rob Davies, was forced to bail out and suffered minor injuries.
