Steve Hinton in the Plames of Fame Buchon, could not fully lock the undercarriage down. He landed at Lydd perfectly until the leg retracted.

Incidentally, this is not the first time that this aircraft has been damaged.

After the Battle of Britain Film This airframe registered G-AWHG was reconfigured to resemble a razor back Mustang for the film Patton which was being shot in Spain. Unfortunately G-AWHG suffered a take off accident at Le Havre.

Later in 1986 after moving to the US the aircraft N3109 repeated the accident and ran off the runway on its first post restoration flight. I guess the amount of original Hispano material within the airframe is now somewhat depleted.

The last time I saw two jets land on grass was at Goodwood in 1986, when ‘Jet heritage’ turned up with their red and blue Jet Provosts.

Its simple, ‘Legends’ is the largest Historic warbird show in Europe.

Legends replaced three airshows in the UK season; Classic Fighter, Fighter Meet and Great Warbirds, so has naturally become the focus for so much attention. In someways its rather sad that Legends is the sole Warbird themed Airshow in the UK, as a similar event elsewhere in the UK would be healthy for the organisers, enthusiasts and operators alike.

Regarding this forum, the bias to Warbirds over WW1, Vintage and Veteran is huge. Hence the level of interest over Legends.
