Apparently according to an earlier post about 2 years ago he took off from Iran at MTOW and did some sort of rollover. On landing at Akrotiri the crew chief was doing an inspection and walking along the wing. He tripped over on what he thought was a not fully retracted speed brake. On closer inspection found that the wing was 'rippled' and bent. Tiny's flying days ended there!
