Damn bad luck ! Yes, its '336 from Old Warden. Was looking forward to seeing it at the evening air display next month. One of the highlights of my visit to the uk. It will be out of action for a couple of seasons at least. The damage does look extensive. Have they at least got their MkV flying which has been in the workshops for the last couple of years ? Maybe no chance of hearing a merlin at shuttleworth this year.
This is '336 from my 2009 visit to shuttleworth:
And before someone corrects me, yes I know its a Griffon ...No chance of hearing either a Griffon or a Merlin I should have said !
