FAStoat, luckily it wasn't chopped in half (but the wings were sawn off later in its career as detailed in earlier posts above!).
I've just been reading a truly delightful article by Doug Bianchi in a 1977 copy of Pilot about how he got the decidedly battered and neglected Mew flying again in France, then Hugh Scrope flew it back to Blackbushe!
