For the best action shot in a while, have a look at the latest news article on the RNHF website:

After the impact, which I felt nothing of (Hawker do make a good solid aircraft) I was massively fed up that I may have finished the flying season for VR930 so early on. Imagine my relief when I saw the damage on the ground! If you're going to hit a bird, do it the way I did. She'll be ready again for Yeovilton Air Day on the 8th after the boys have worked their magic on her.
I shudder to think how that same bird would have damaged my daytime aircraft, the GR7/7A/9. I certainly wouldn't have been flying home so soon.
