Who would want to be driving a convertible in that weather?
He will go home on a wing and a prayer
A little off the top but leave the sides
Forget the thunder, I can show you where the Streak is if you like !
My passenger shouted DUCK,
Shoulda gone to Specsavers

Unfortunately the aircraft did suffer significant damage. It was knocked from its plint attachments, damage to lower mid fuselage. Wing damage as well. It would take a fair bit of effort to put this back where it belongs…

‘Kill’ marking will be added shortly on the jet I expect.

The driver is lucky he didn’t collide with the plinth
