> The photo of the Swift struck a chord with me.
> 
> I was based on 2nd TAF Comm Sqdn at RAF Wildenrath. A Swift from one of the RAF stations to the north flew past Wildenrath and suffered a flame out.
> 
> The pilot said that he looked over his shoulder and there was the runway, He pulled around and made a dead stick landing.
> 
> When the a/c was brought in from the runway I did the after flight Instruments inspection on it. The only thing that I can recall is that the tell-tale on the G meter showed that the pilot had pulled 6 G.
