Glad to see someone got the aircraft correct in the end, and for those with JP knowledge the Mk 80 Strikey has a tiny MI instead of the big ASI warning flag. A/C touched down very smoothly on its tanks and wore approx 1 1/2 inches off the tanks. No other damage as per heavy landing check, no excess G readings. A/C lifted by qualified engineers with correct sling and wheels locked down. After a detailed check A/C cleared for one flight gear down to base for in depth check.
Someone at Kemble kept refering to it as a crash, they need to get their facts straight to stop the wrong rumours spreading as in the first few posts on this thread. A Strikemaster is very different to a JP Mk3a (G-BVSP). Just because it is black and yellow does not make it a JP so please refrain from guessing unless you actually know fact, it can lead to heart ache.
As for insurance issues it looks like it will not be an insurance claim as the Jet was not damaged, just the tanks. Anyone want tanks we have about 10 sets.
