Default RE: Model Aviation and Dogs

Well, that's a much happier story than was mine.

I recall flying somewhere in Kent, about 25 years back. I was with a bloke who had a 1/3rd scale Camel ... which was pretty special in the mid-80s. Anyway, he used to carry this model about in a caravan. He also had a Blue Border Collie.

The only way he could load the model into the caravan was via the large rear window. And this was the method of unloading, too.

So, he dutifully passed the wing panels out of the window and I laid them on the ground.

Next thing, the bloody Collie launched itself out of the window and landed with a great thump ... smack on these wing panels.

As you can imagine, a great cry of anguish went up from inside caravan. The dog was lucky to escape with its life.

Buuuut, there was no damage done to the wings.

Somehow.
