The T21 at Montagne Noir in the south of France got caught by a gust whilst they were trying to get it in the hangar on 23 April 16.

What an indignity for the dear old Barge to suffer, virtually intolerable, I’d say. 🙁

Yes hope she gets repaired – that is such a shame – and looked in nice condition too 🙁

Repairable or terminally wounded?

Very repairable, I think even by commercial standards.

I wonder how long it was before some passer by enquired whether it was installation art? But one has to say – thank goodness for the tree!

In days gone by that would be repaired by the next weekend as otherwise there’d be nothing to fly.

Looks very repairable to me.

I lot of my early Sedbergh landings at RAF Halton ended quite like this. 🙂
