Better News Of Maurice Hammond

“Janie was inexplicably further damaged extensively, and irrevocably, during recovery, with extensive post incident damage caused to the relatively intact empennage.”

Was it really a year ago ? Latest from the local paper this morning. Interesting to see that AAIB still have the wreckage, and the comments on ‘further damage’

Home already? That’s amazing!
Good luck, Maurice!

As a retired doctor (no longer a pilot, and spitfire enthusiast who is acutely aware of the dangers of smashing a Merlin up front into the ground) who has dealt with lots of casualties, a few aircraft crash victims (including military) and more burned folk than I care to remember the “further update” is massively better than I expected. He survived a fatal crash with burning petrol. I am amazed that he is as good as he is. He will view it differently.

Further update on Maurice Hammond’s health….
