Apparently, Mrs Miggins down the pub last night told me that he heroically steered the plane away from a local school, and in doing so, force-landed in the field!

I was told on Sunday morning, not from any offical source that It was an under carriage failure

The undercarriage was deliberately left retracted to minimise the tendancy to nose over!

He managed to stop the prop to minimise damage

The engine had already stopped prior to the landing, hence the forced landing. D'oh
From what I have heard (not from Mrs Miggins, but a very informed person who knows about these things), the damage was remarkably slight (a couple of prop blades, some flap damage, the obvious radiator & doghouse section skin damage) and the aeroplane is easily repairable, with some cash injections.....Well done Robs, you did a good job!
