4 photos in the set keep clicking next to see all. Sadly not much left by the looks of it. High impact collison.

I think its in bad taste to post these.
🙁
Why?
Out of interest why was there no fire? was it pure luck or did the pilot switch things off before bailing out?

Sad, yes – but in poor taste? It’s only a lump of metal after all, and it’s not as if anyone died…
Bang on. Not like it was the only example of the type flying either.

Apart from the ruined engine crankcase, the rest of the wreck looks quite rebuildable with a helping of new parts and cubic dollars. It didn’t melt into a pile of aluminum goo, fortunately.
Other Mustangs have come back to life from crashes.

What a sad end for such a magnificent plane.
So sorry.
