Foxbat A22 landing on a Bucking Ship - English Channel

Postby Pietb » Tue Oct 22, 2013 11:59 am

Don't try this at home, unless...you have a Foxbat, a reasonable sized ship, plenty of insurance and are slightly mad!

Here's some footage of a Foxbat landing on a bucking ship in the English Channel - and then taking off again!
Ignore the few seconds of black in the middle - there's more afterwards.
