Just a gust of wind

This misfortunate pilot landed his vintage tri-plane on its nose. The man had been flying the famous Fokker Dreidecker aircraft at the Flying Legends airshow at the Imperial War Museum in Duxford, Cambsridgeshire. But when he landed the WW1 fighter aircraft a sudden gust of wind blew it on its nose. No one was hurt in the incident.

World War 1 German airplanes, tanks, wagons, a blimp and a motorcycle... all from before 1918

The wheel has me interested, a couple photos down this gallery is another

Notice the extremely long wagon in the middle
Check out the unusual wheels, the one in the middle with the flat plates has a story, I was reading somewhere that due to a lack of materials the Germans were innovating designs to adapt old wheels for heavier loads













Dual engines

Sidecars and motorbikes

Also notable for being a Harley with a sidecar, ... but these are different sidecars
