And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

File this one under "any landing you can walk away from is a good landing."
They were on carriers after the Brits figured out to make a turning approach so they could see the deck until straightening out at the last seconds. https://forum.warthunder.com/index.php?/topic/268950-british-royal-navy-faa-corsair-i-and-ii/
I thought once they figured out the undercarriage had too much bounce the Corsairs were fine for carriers.....hell, they all had problems, from Wildcats to Hellcats....I've seen plenty of blown landings that didn't involve Corsairs....
Silly pilot. If he hadn't run into that cable he wouldn't have wound up like that.
