Post subject: | Harvard Attrition Intensity |
Hi All This is my first aircraft accident summary involving neither a British nor South African national, although there were probably more involved in Harvard accidents. This aside, as can be seen from the length of the entry, this is a nicely detailed account assisted by numerous eye witness accounts of what happened and providing a very thorough summary indeed. It is as good as it gets. It also provides significant detail regarding the operation and structure of the Goose Neck flare path in use at this time at large flight schools. Although there are period images of the wreck, these remained elusive at the time of my accessing this accident. This is significant deletion. The next consideration will be an offering from the very opposite end of the speed spectrum. Vlammie lovers stand by!

PURCHASE YOUR FAVOURITE SAAF ACCIDENT SUMMARIES How would you enjoy your personal copy of my Accident Summaries? Better still, how would you like to receive them in your inbox in original full length version with full supporting period and other image accompaniment with relevant tables/charts/diagrams/transcripts etc where appropriate!? Now it is possible. With Dean's consent, commencing about the start of each month and every month thereafter, I will announce the availability of one previously unpublished Accident Summary here. Summaries vary in length from about ¾ page of text to as many as 12 excluding images and image captions. Note that not all occurrences are image accompanied depending on the circumstances of the occurrence and what copy of the Court/Board of Inquiry/Station Investigation I get to process. Accidents will cover the time period 01/10/42 to 31/12/75 as per the high-end limitations imposed by current legislation in terms of the Promotion of Access to Information Act and involve all types of attrition, both benign and spectacular, to exclusively the following types: the Harvard/Texan, C-47/Dakota, C-54/Skymaster, C-130 Hercules, Transall C-160Z, Merlin Mk IVA, HS.125 Mercurius, Viscount, Shackleton, Piaggio P.166S Albatross, Cessna 185, AM-3CM Bosbok, two Do 27, one Auster, one Spitfire, Canberra, Buccaneer, Mirage III, Vampire, Sabre, Impala, Wasp, Alouette II and III, Puma and the Super Frelon. No single type will be represented more than twice over a given 12-month period. Other types may be added in due course as legislation relaxes. All summaries appearing in the database above are available for purchase by anyone at any time at R45 per summary all inclusive. This may be adjusted upwards depending on the number of images accompanying the main text at my discretion. Simply let me know exactly what aircraft types you would potentially be interested in from the database and give me your e-mail, and I will contact you as soon as a summary involving that aircraft type becomes available for purchase. If you are interested, please contact me on: oopsaahcast@yahoo.com or telephone: +27 (0)31 261 2680 (H + W) all hours or 076 0511 586 (sms or Whatsapp only please since my phone is off most of the time when working) for payment details or if you have any queries regarding this subject. Payments by cellphone airtime to the required or nearest amount are permitted and far cheaper than going through a bank. Simply forward me the pin and this also speeds up my delivery since I can confirm payment much sooner than otherwise. All purchases will be subject to my terms and conditions and copyright, which include among others, that no summary or part thereof (including images) may be reproduced on any website or publication or other communications systems for any purpose whatsoever and that summaries are for personal (private) use exclusively and may not be distributed to a second party for any reason whatsoever. If any uncertainty exists, please run your plans by me. By making payment, the purchaser will thus consent to having read and fully agreed to these terms and conditions. Upon request, I may waiver the copyright for a particular purchased accident summary to be reproduced verbatim on a site or in a publication at my sole discretion, provided that the source is acknowledged. Although this system is prone to abuse, I would strongly advise that individuals would refrain from doing so, since it may well compromise the success of this effort and if I feel that it is not being sustainably successful, I will have no choice but to discontinue this effort and the future of summaries being available to the public will be forever jeopardised. By personally honouring the above terms, you will thus be investing in the future of more summaries being made available, both for your personal information and for that of others. Note: Due to logistical limitations on my part, payments made in a given month may only see that summary e-mailed during the first week of the following month if payment is made via a bank or EFT. There is plenty of potential SAAF aircraft history and operational procedure waiting to be unlocked and revealed to the glory of SAAF aviation history. Please allow me to make it happen for YOU! In the interests of flying safety and preserving SAAF history. Regards Clinton Barnard HISTORY THROUGH ATTRITION |
