I said I wasnt going to post again - and it really really is my last, but I always worry about insurance issues.
Anyway I emailed my insurers to ask whether they would settle a claim if the aircraft landed in a cross wind more than the demonstrated cross wind component in the POH and in consequence was damaged.
They said they would.
In fact they have just 'phoned to say they wondered whether an accident had actually occurred. I told them it had not but thanked them for their concern. We chatted and I pointed them to this thread which he had actually been reading. He laughed, said so far as they were concerned the whole thing was totally ridiculous and they had all had a chuckle. He made one or two other amusing comments.
It has put my mind at rest so far as the insurance issue was concerned.
I appreciate other insureres may take a different view.
