The damage to the written off PT which was on the next stand was not dissimilar, but the aircraft was broken just forward of the engines, so obviously a much greater financial and structural loss.
Coincidence I know but there was Comet 3 at RAE Bedford which had its tailplane removed by a Trident, the Comet being lined up on the runway while the Trident did a low approach, obviously a bit too low! . The damage was repaired by pinching the tailplane from one of the Comets which had been ferried into RAF Halton as an instructional airframe.
