A little story:
I used to be a member of the Popular Flying Association, the UK equivalent of the EAA.
I used to attend the group ("strut") meetings at Andrewsfield near Stansted Airport.
One night there was a fellow there with a horrifying injury to his forehead; a dent that you could fit a dollar piece into.(he was still flying though!)
The story was that on a cross wind take off in a Tiger Moth at Stapleford aerodrome (also near Stansted) he had lifted off, swung into wind with rudder and aileron then touched down again. Now going sideways, he had wiped off the unercarriage and then crashed on the downhill bit of the runway, skating into the aircraft parking area, complete with parked aircraft. He shot forward and removed part of his brain on the E2b compass.

The bit in that article about skipping sideways reminded of that.

It turned out later that evening that, of the 12 pilots there, I was the only one who hadn't actually crashed an aircraft!
