Hmmm... My first though is that making an insurance claim on that one probably has little chance of a payout - as it does not appear to be an "accident".

I admit that I've done that - with lots of headwind, good distance margin for the abort area, and success. From the look of the performance, I'd wonder if there was a performance shortfall; no wind, high elevation, or heavy. In any case, an experienced pilot, well familiar with the plane, would have known by the point he reached the other end of the apron, that it should have been airborne, or need to be aborted.

Unlike the Hurricane, that will be rebuilt, but at a high cost. What a waste......
