Some observations:

I agree that the abnormal things in the main shot are the canopy, flap, and mainwheel. They all appear to be explainable. Note that the oleo's are extended so the aircraft was airbourne when the shot was taken.

rotated:- Look at the shadow of the tailplane in the main pic and compare to the shadow under the lorry and car. I think they match.

2donkeys:- If you pan the camera with the aircraft the it will be sharp and the lorry blured. Conversely, if the photographer had held the camera steady on the lorry then it would be sharp and the aircraft blurred. If both were sharp then I would suspect a fake.

englishal:- Lighting difference will be due to the change of exposure as the camera was panned away from the sun, Also I see nothing to suggest that the position has changed, the photographer has merely swiveled on the spot.

If it's genuine then I think the pilot might be needing a good lawyer.

If it's fake then the original poster might need one!
