be leaving for Egypt shortly under the command of Sqd. Ldr. V. H. Tait, whose
Egyptian rank is Kaimakam Tait Bey, and who has been seconded for duty with the
Egyptian Government. Second n command will be Bimbashi S. N. Webster,
whose Egyptian rank obscures, even if it does not conceal, the identity of the
winner of the Schneider Trophy Contest at Venice in 1927" |

"It is with regret
that we have to report that two of the machines crashed, in fog, on their way to
Paris on November 18. One machine crashed at Moncmaux and both occupants, Mr.
Haggag and Mr. Dors, were burnt to death. The other machine crashed near Wismes-au-Val,
and also caught fire, but pilot and passenger escaped unhurt." |

Flight: 30th November 1933 |
Fog the Enemy
IN connection with the mishaps in France last week
to two of the Avro 626 machines now en route to Egypt, certain
inaccuracies in the original reports are likely to have given a wrong impression
of what happened, and it becomes advisable to place on record the actual facts.
To begin with, the report published (not in FLIGHT) that engine trouble was a
contributory cause is wrong. A report from Sqd. Ldr. Tait makes it clear that
there was no blame whatever attaching to the Armstrong-Siddeley " Cheetah "
engines. The accidents were caused solely by the difficulties of flying in
conditions of very bad visibility.
The machine whose occupants were killed was gliding in over a belt of trees to
make a landing in what appeared to be a suitable field, when the pilot found an
obstruction in the form of a line of high-tension cables. Being unable to " zoom
" over the cables in time, he put the nose of his machine down in an effort to
get underneath the cables. Before the pilot could get the nose up again the
machine hit the ground at considerable speed, bounced and, on hitting the ground
again, the petrol tanks burst. Had the pilot not broken formation, but remained
with the formation, all would have been well, as le Bourget was reached safely.
The second machine made a forced landing, ran into soft ground and turned over
slowly. It did not catch fire at all, and was not " written
off." |

"This is a very popular video in Youtube
among Egyptians and Arabs , it is known
as the Egyptian Crazy Pilot , it was
taken from a
History channel TV series “Dog
fight” in “DOGFIGHTS OF THE
HOLY LAND” episode “Second season”
{It was aired on the 10th of August
2007}
Now that Egyptian crazy pilot has a
specific name and it is
Hassan Salem
El-Rafai and he is
still alive unlike what was mentioned in
the History Channel , this was
not a desperate adventure of a mad
Egyptian pilot with his poor MIG-21 ,
this was among the maneuvers the
Egyptian pilots were trained for months
on it . They already learnt from the
Pakistani pilots in Syria , yup you are
reading right.
The Egyptian pilot used this maneuver
to escape from the IAF and he had been
trained on it day and night , yet it is
very hard and was known among the
Egyptian fleet as the death manoeuvre"
