Title: Heritage transport - a reminder of the safety needs.
Post by: grahame on October 02, 2019, 23:50:42
Somewhat outside the normal topic range here - but posted as a reminder of the need for safety procedures to be watertight and followed when heritage transport is in use for public (or indeed staffed) trips

From the BBC (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-49909735)

Several people have died after a rare World War Two-era plane crashed and burst into flames at an airport in the US state of Connecticut.

There were 13 people aboard the vintage Boeing B-17 - dubbed the Flying Fortress - when it crashed outside Hartford on Wednesday morning.

According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the plane crashed at the end of a runway during an attempted landing.
