What lousy news. I've only had e-mail contact with him, but what wonderful contact! That was a great Camel, and yeah that's a big shame, but the man himself......I pray that they can patch him up.

Heartfelt prayers
Fred is a very kind and generous friend--always a true gentleman. His knowledge and willingness to share his time and talents with the WW1 aviation community are a gift to us all. My thoughts and heartfelt prayers are with him and his family!

Sad to read this second post of a crash. I hope Mr. Murrin will recover soon.
His Camel is a real juwel. Willem

I am so sorry to hear of Fred's accident, and we here wish
him a speedy recovery. He's not only a great guy but always willing to share his vast knowledge with anyone. The Camel is wood and fabric and can be rebuilt, but people like him can't be replaced.

I talked to a family friend at Fred’s mother’s house today at 1830 Pennsylvania time (6:30 pm) and it looks like he will be OK. He has a punctured lung, four broken ribs, and a cut on his face and they are fighting his blood pressure, but the prognosis is good. Sounds like he will make a complete recovery.

Hi all,
Just to add to what Taz posted. Fred had a CAT scan and his brain is fine, no back injuries, no broken legs or arms. It appears his right side took most of the impact with his ribs and lung coming out on the worst of it. They are not allowing him to speak due to his lung, but all sounds very good. Rick Bennett was flying in his plane when Fred had his troubles. Nothing known at this time, but Rick suspects the motor may have stopped for some reason causing him to go into a spin. Rick's wife Donna, and Fred's life companion Marsha were at the scene and could only find Fred with the aid of Rick circling overhead the crash. As you can see in the photo he came down exactly at the edge of a corn field with his prop in the trees and his tail in the corn. He was coherent at the crash suffering from the ribs and lung. I told Donna we were all thinking of him and had him in our prayers and to pass on the good words. I expect to see him flying his Dr.I at the Dawn Patrol! Best, Dave W. |
