Ooh, that wing flex on touchdown made me wince. Very good flying there, though. Well done to him! Not tipping it over on a coarse gravel beach deserves even more kudos... I'm not so sure about carrying it up the cliff, though!

Hi friends
it seems to me to be a Morane 315 or 317
Yours

Was a 317, but now fitted with a Rotec Radial and somehow referred to being a 315!
I was at Bodmin all day and saw it arrive and depart. Pilot is an old flying friend of mine (we fly to fly Austers and Cubs together) and I'm sure he knew what he was doing!

That really did take skill. The shingle west of Jacob's ladder at Sidmouth is very deep and it's a miracle he didn't nose over. Watch as they pull him out; the wheels are inches (cms!) into it!
