iirc there was a lot of concrete shrapnel damage to the fuselage, only the crutching mechanism of the port drop tank remained and the port intake was split in two where a whip aerial on top of the boxed yagi (sp?) aerial had hit it, causing the port engine to surge. The boxed yagi was knocked off its shelf. The crash mag cover photo showed a scrape mark on the concrete mast that went through the ladder used to change the red light on top. I think there was a hydraulic failure too.

A very lucky outcome....
