A major in the Australian Army was knocked to the ground by an unexpected and trivial structural failure on one of the Army’s new highly advanced Tiger combat helicopters when staging through Essendon Airport today. While conducting a routine inspection from the stub wing the Officer was knocked to the ground (where he stayed for a few minutes) when a large inspection panel parted company with the airframe and fell to the ground. The office was offered first aid by airport and flying school staff but despite sporting a ripper lump over his R eye he claimed to be well.
Gotta be careful with those Tigers. They also said it was a brilliant bit of kit and we were all very impressed (By the Tiger and the casualty’s fortitude).
