Two aircraft collide at Bankstown on the ground

[Gerard M]

Just heard a "breaking news" article on channel 7 news that two aircraft have "collided" on the ground. Anyone with any more info about it and if it was as bad as they make it seem?

Cheers
Gerard

Update
Beechcraft and piper warrier clipped wings according to bankstown spokesperson

I haven't, but a mate of mine did.
The Metro he was taxying ran into an MU-2 at Bankstown. The prop of the MU-2 cut about two metres of the left wing of the Metro off .... fuel was spilled and aeroplane bits everywhere.
A new wing was found for the Metro and a new end stiched back on.
The rest of the story is here.

It's surprisingly easy to do.

It wasn't anyone from the board in the collision was it?

Let me guess, you were in the MU-2 AJ?

So it was you that had the too-close call with Trevor?

Ladies & Gents,

I am slightly confused.
People are speaking of this collision that happened last week at Bankstown airport in this thread, however Channel 7/10 had image of the collision and it showed VH-JWW A Duchess and I could be mistaken but looked to be a Cherokee in the livery of VH-FZW/VH-SWU/VH-VFC... Sorry I was unable to see the callsign on the news image...

Am I on the wrong thread or confused???

It was indeed.
Gave me a good interview answer at Qantas when the ask about accident history! I still have video footage of the aftermath.
