Country: | Well no because youd bounce into the sea, it was bound to explode anyway. I mean if someone intentionally crash landed the thing, hoping to escape

Country:  | The Stringbag was'nt to bad at crash landings (mainly because they seemed to do it a lot) nice 55knts stall speed and the ability to do the splits if it came down a bit heavy this one should have got rid of the depth charges under its wings first though and as a fighter aircraft it was total pants

| However ditching must have been very dangerous. Wheels hit first and then the plane would presumably flip upside down. Not good for a carrier plane. | |
