BBMF Spitfire MK356 Landing incident and runway excursion

Appears a brake locked on which causes a skew off the runway without further damage but a big flat spot on the tyre so not a bad outcome.

Obviously it was a 3-point landing, and very likely the brakes were not applied until low speed. Both are excellent techniques in the Spitfire.

Lucky there was no prop strike or bent metal. The most important thing is that no one was seriously hurt.
