What a shame, this is one of ‘ours’ at White Waltham, and I was able to get some photos in the autumn. Looking forward to seeing it back again.

Sad to se her like this, she was one of ours before she was one of yours:D i did the post restoration first flight on her from Sywell 10 years ago. Glad all are ok, as others have said looks like a forced landing in oil seed rape and tipped up.;)

The word “crash” does make a ‘good’ headline doesn’t it!

Sorry to hear this!

At least the occupants walked away with only minor injuries:
