Now do not fret guys, the C17 is taking off, and will clear that loader by several hundred feet.

Got to be the best of all the transport aircraft we have bought.

This happened to me a few years back, offroading, and didn´t see the ditch.

Surprisingly no damage, but It´s only a Ford GP, so who cares!

If you're going to borrow their truck, don't dent it.
A whole new meaning to: drive it like you stole it.
It's not mine, so I don't care....

Goin' off the deep end.
 

Here's a truck that took a long drive off a short ramp. LCT449 drops a truck in the chuck.

After viewing these snafu's all what came to mind was this Herbie cartoon (hope I figured out this posting images)

1st Survey Regiment, Royal Canadian Artillery
 

Bing was a wonderful, prolific and accurate artist as well as making us laugh with his immortal character, Herbie.

For all of you out there who refer to the Gunners as "Herbies", note the unit sign on the sign post... 10 on red over blue... 1st Survey Regiment, RCA part of 1st Canadian Corps, Italy 1943/44...

Now you know the rest of the story! :salute:

:remember :support Mike

The Twins- Arte and Marte
 

I guess I should have mentioned the close relationship between the Herbies and the twins- Arty and Marty (Per Arte et Marte- "By Skill and By Valour" sometimes translated as "By Skill and By Fighting") is the motto of the Electrical and mechanical Engineers): these hard working specialists and technicians are the Yang to the Herbies Yang: we break 'em and they fix 'em!

The LAD is the Light Aid Detachment and I suspect Herbie's truck is a bit beyond even their almost magical ability to keep 'em rolling!

:thup2: to the RCEME!

:remember :supportMike

That sinking feeling
 

Think he is going down with his ship [car] :fry: wonder if it is still there :confused

Any One seen my bus

Read the text you'll understand
 

I was looking through one of favorite safety sights (http://www.safetycenter.navy.mil/photo/index.asp ) and found this one. Here is the text under the picture:

"One of the truisms of aviation is, “Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing.”

Except this one. Fortunately for the pilot, this was one he could climb away from, as long as he didn’t get electrocuted. In fact, that may be him on the roof, just above the cockpit.

A contributor’s grandfather took this photo in Oshawa, Ontario Canada, in 1918.

Presumably this was an emergency landing. If not, it was a landing that became an emergency. Note the ladder wagon with a ladder on the side of the building, not quite tall enough to reach the plane"

OH Dear
 

1st photo. I wonder what the Drivers mate said to the driver [ in his ear ] in this photo. :nono:
2nd photo. OH Sir, do i have to get my feet wet :whinge.
Photos from my collection.

What he said...
 

...as the vehicle tipped onto it's side was: 'nnnnnNNEEEEEEIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!'

from the AWM. Captioned as "Bandiana 1942-47 badly damaged CMP Chevrolet truck." but I think it is more likely to be late war or even post war as the truck has lifting rings on the front axle.

Lifting Rings
 

My F60 LAAT built July 1944 has lifting rings fitted,
I guess traffic cones were a bit tougher in there day, not the cheap plastic items you can knock over with a pedal bike,
maybe the driver being on the right hand side of the cab walked away [Once he stopped shaking] :yappy:
