The picture of the Baron is not a stock shot but, in fact, taken at the end of the incident. The PA32 was the innocent party; the damage was the result of being clipped by the Baron which veered left at some point in the ground roll (I didn't see the touch down point), hit the PA32 and did a ground loop which is when the photo was taken. There was no obvious damage to the Baron although the mark on the fuselage could be caused by the impact. I didn't see the collision as it was obscured by an advertising hoarding (as per ITV Racing's footage).
I walked some of the ground run and the ground didn't seem too bad although it was a few hours after the worst of the rain. It was fortunate that the the Baron managed to miss the heli in the background otherwise things could have been a whole lot worse.
