Messerschmitt 163

Messerschmitt 163 Ref: Gic-M419

During his evaluation of captured German aircraft in 1945, Eric Brown became the only non German pilot to fly the lethal rocket fuelled Messerschmitt 163. During later un-fuelled gliding trials of the type in 1947, the landing skid collapsed on landing at 158mph, trapping Eric's legs as the aircraft ground looped before coming to rest a few yards from the airfield boundary.
