Bad day at Duxford

Hi all,
Not seen a thread for this yet, but there were 2 incidents at Flying Legends today. Firstly, a Fokker DrI replica groundlooped whilst landing after a display.
Worse was to come though when during the run and breaks following the final Balbo, a P51 and skyraider collided. The skyraider lost about a third of the starboard wing and managed to land back at Duxford. The mustang was seen to nosedive into a field. Fortunately the pilot managed to bail out.

Not a good fortnight for historic aviation after the Jungmann and Seafire incidents last week. Glad I went to the show yesterday now.
Finally, a photo of Big Beautiful Doll, the mustang involved in the collision taken yesterday. (SimV uploader not working for me at the moment...)
