Just to put this into context – I think this is where the Spitfire came down:
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.3269122,0.0388634,121m/data=!3m1!1e3?hl=en
Right at the edge of the tree line, with power cables about 100 yards away and a hangar adjacent to the landing site. That takes serious skill and large slice of luck to be able to walk away from. Hopefully Dan Griffith is on the mend and will be back flying soon – he put in a superb display in one of the Biggin Hill Spitfires at the concert they held on the airfield a couple of summers back.
MK912 will fly again, probably with a lot of new metal in it, but it does leave a gap for the 18th August event.
Regards,
Dan
Hello, the google image is a bit out of date the area to the north of the hangars has been cleared , but it was close to the tree line to the east.
The Biggin Gossip is ,he took off from 29 had a engine problem which turned into a failure and then approached from the west and ended there.
