Definately a write off I’d say.

Oops indeed. Someone will be looking for a new job soon.

It’s amazing how aircraft can crash through a brick wall and show little damage to the aircraft.

In 1956, at RAAF Richmond, NSW, a Neptune’s searchlight crashed through a brick hangar wall with hardly a scratch!

Also a Lincoln wing sliced through a steel door, with little obvious damage to the wingtip – but there were creases further inboard.

Neither aircraft was flying under power at the time – this was during a cyclone!
