Drama at Duxford

[HawkerTempest5]

Well, no sooner had I arrived at Duxford this morning when this happened.

Sorry sight. BBMF

[Craig.]

thank god it was during taxi, i would hate to think of the result on takeoff or landing.
Looks like he should be fixed up pretty quickly though.

[Felix/FFDS]

In wartime, it would have been flying again in a day or so.  Now?

Terrible news
At least no-one was hurt, and Felix I'm sure she'll be fixed-up in next to no-time as they keep a fair array of spares.

[Hagar]

Oops. That is a sad sight. At least good ol' Tempest was there to record it. These shots are better than we will see in any magazine or newspaper. Well done.

As Craig said, it's a good job it wasn't taking off or landing. Wonder what happened.

As the Hurri was landing, Ozzy flew inverted under it in a Pou de Ciel and nudged the retraction jack.

[Saitek]

What a sorry sight. Rather surprising for the pilot! I shouldn't think he was expecting that!

Yeah sounds like Ozzy.
