Anybody know where this is based? Just saw the footage of it upside down. Owner is listed as Farnham based so could be Fairoaks or Farnborough.

rudder was blown off the plane I am a group owner of at but I've heard of other planes written off where I do my flying. Very sad for those owners / the school involved. I'm just hoping for no hidden damage as well once it is in for repair.
Is it just me - or are the two planes that are still the right way up in the BBC pics not tied down? I wonder if they started off in a different location than they are in now (and whoever left them there is very lucky)!

In the past I have gone to lot of effort to tie planes down, and I have never regretted the effort.

A sad sight...
We pay a whopping amount for our hangarage, almost as much as we spend on maintenance and insurance combined. There are times that I hate this and wonder whether we'd not be better off tied down and protected with covers, you can do an awful lot of maintenance for the money saved... but then there are countless times that I'm glad that our baby is inside. Just as long as I don't have to be reminded of the bills!
Even inside you're not totally safe. Last winter a hangar collapsed under the weight of snow on the roof, totalling the planes inside.

A SAD DAY!!!!!!!
Only just found about this poor machine.
G-BBKE was my first ever hands on flight in an aircraft 10/7/89 at Wickenby on the RAF Flying Scholarship
Anyone else remember that summer in Lincoln.
Great times had by all
