Thanks for the link. Was waiting for confirmation of the type as it looked like a Super Cub to me. Lucky pilot. Photo of plane above.

-That is one very lucky pilot - I can imagine the fire service saw that and thought they were dealing with something much worse.

Anyone agree?
If so, you are to remain after school for remedial aircraft identification class.
My wife will provide biscuits and tea.

Don't feel bad, most enthusiasts are lacking in knowledge of GA types and helicopters.

-I know the pilot too! Worked with Jerry quite a bit last year. I hope he’s ok.

-“ ... most enthusiasts are lacking in knowledge of GA types and helicopters.”
Of course you are entitled to this opinion, but I don’t know how you justify such a sweeping generalisation - perhaps through using a rather narrow definition of enthusiast? There is a great depth of knowledge concerning light aviation and helicopters amongst enthusiasts involved with such organisations as Air-Britain, the LAA, VAC, EAA etc and SFAIK amongst plenty of members of this forum too.
So far as this Luscombe accident goes, I too know Jerry and am glad to hear he is OK.

-Once the rescue team had freed his trapped ankle Jerry was able to walk slowly , he was shaken up and somewhat sore and given a full hospital check up.

-I think we had more Cubs than Luscombes in the UK at one time! Only tea and biscuits? :D

G-AKVP Luscombe resident at Charity farm airstrip Baxterley was badly damaged after a take off accident on Easter friday. The pilot was trapped for a while until Warwickshire Fire and Rescue team cut him out.
