Well Done BBC Report On The Duxford Skyraider & P-51 Collision

 This aviation related news report from the BBC is not only highly accurate (a real rarity for the news media) but it also includes and excellent interview with Rob Davies, the pilot of the P-51 Big Beautiful Doll, who bailed out at very low altitude after being hit by a Douglas Skyraider at Duxford over the weekend. While the report doesn't really shed any light on the specifics of why the collision occurred, or the extent of damage that the P-51 incurred from the collision, it gives great insight into the character of the man who very effectively handled a serious emergency. A man who is very fortunate to still be alive.
