The photo shows an old Apache…presumably restored with a nice factory paint scheme.

May not be restored as it is not currently registered.

In the video he says “three flew for the RAF in World War 2 and a couple of older ones…”

Glad the cat was ok.

The registration, N1413P, visible in the pic belongs to a Piper PA23 (which means absolutely sod-all to me! :p).

Apache or Aztec might ring a bell!:D

Another report here.:(

Another report says two planes destroyed but another states all destroyed, obviously not true as can be seen in the photo. Odd that the owner, Johnny Johnson does not appear to have a pilots licence and I could not find any planes registered in his name.

Damn shame for this to have happened, though. Especially gutting as he’s spent so long building his collection up.
