These last two shots were taken around Nice LFMN, my home town. We were going to land in Cannes-Mandelieu, a small airfield near Cannes, but while taking a screenshot at too low altitude, my prop hit the water and got bent. Engine died immediately.
Fortunately, I was very close from the airfield, and I was fast enough to regain some altitude while doing the final turn. I tried to land on the grass, as I didn't have time/inertia to line up with the runway anyways... And of course, since I had no engine anymore, the gear didn't come out completely (not enough time to "rock it to lock it" either...).
The other pilot was my younger brother. The Spit is his very first Accusim plane, and I help him to discover all the features of the plane. In some of the previous shots, we tested the high altitude flight, to show him the necessity of using the oxygen
And in this last flight, I could also explain him that you need hydraulic pressure to use the gear...
