The jury is out . After much deliberation , kind advice and true introspection the decision is no go . The crowd will see fast passes , 360 degree spins and the nostalgia of 40’s military technology in motion but no car crushing . Charlie you will remain the champion .

Up and over, but not much crushed....

I think that he was very lucky that the rear mudguards did not catch the car as he drove off it.

I think that he was very lucky the front idler spindles did not snap off. That's a very hard landing with no suspension!

Plus.... “ I think that he was very lucky that the rear mudguards did not catch the car as he drove off it.”

He being Post #11 of this thread, no need to refer to “he” in any other person but himself. Bucky the Wonder Carrier survived too. Not just that wee trial, but years of post-war use in capable hands.

The hard landing may not be as hard as one suspects, looking at the driver head movement at the critical moment. As for the rear mudguard extensions, would the bottom edge of the vertical differential cover have caught before the extensions?

The mudguard extensions on the MK-II* are exceptionally heavy gauge. I would expect the cars to come in second had there been any contact.

Dignity intact Mr. F.

Keep Calm and Carrier On.
