Replica (Mk26) Spitfire incident on its first flight in Essex on Sunday

Does anyone know anything about this, the information has been passed on to me by the owner and pilots friend.
I’ve Googled it and it appears on another aviation forum, but without joining, I’m not allowed access to the photo’s published on there.
What do you know, the friend of the owner is a client of mine and is under the impression that it’s a real Spitfire, well, he is German, you have to excuse him. I gather that the pilot suffered only minor injuries, but I could be wrong.

Mk.26. No idea which one it is, but there’s about 8 of them on the UK register, either flying or being constructed…

Am I right in thinking it is a MK26 80% ?

There are pics over on UKAR, including one of it being dismantled.

Looks like a forced landing more than a crash
