De motor klinkt mooi in de cockpit, totdat opeens een "backfire" plaatsvindt en de scoop bovenop in tweeen splijt -en wegvalt...

Wie het eerste deel met Robert "Hoot" Gibson wil overslaan spoele door naar 1.20...

Dit motor-incident is vanuit diverse hoeken gefilmd,
zowel over de schouder van "Hoot" -als vanaf de vloer plus uiteraard vanaf "Moeder Aarde".

The Saga of 232

Aircraft | Hawker 232 |

Besides the duke-out between Hinton and Jackson, there was other drama during the week,
as former shuttle commander Hoot Gibson was eliminated from Sunday’s race.

On Saturday, the composite scoop atop the engine cowling of his Hawker Sea Fury 232 disintegrated,
and pieces struck the windshield and other parts on the airplane,
with some of the pieces being ingested by the engine.
