Yeah, that place out 'there'. Anything not really Cambodia related should go here.

A sad history, this one (as often the case, it could easily have been avoided)

The subsequent investigation concluded that the crash was attributable primarily to three factors: Holland's personality and behavior; USAF leaders' delayed or inadequate reactions to earlier incidents involving Holland; and the sequence of events during the aircraft's final flight. The crash is now used in military and civilian aviation environments as a case study in teaching crew resource management. It is also often used by the U.S. Armed Forces during aviation safety training as an example of the importance of complying with safety regulations and correcting the behavior of anyone who violates safety procedures.

After it had crash landed on a beach in England during the Second World War, an American P-38 fighter plane emerges after a heavy storm where it had lay buried for seventy years.

Here is another old autochome I've restored for you, taken 111 years ago at the first Paris Air Show in September 1909. (It isn't colourised).

^ this account has some incredible old colour photos/autochromes- like the pic above is original colour, not colourised.
