Pawnee loses wheel, cow loses life!

Can anyone help me with the identity of the Pawnee and/or more information concerning this incident, which gets no more than a brief mention in Tim Webb's 'Shoreham Airport Sussex' and does not appear to receive mention elsewhere (at least, not on the web or any text to which I have access at present). So what I have is:

"May 8th 1970: Robert Sharpe, a crop spraying pilot, took off from Golding Barn Farm in a Piper Pawnee 235. A cow ran in front of him and knocked off a wheel, so Sharpe decided to make a one wheel landing at Shoreham. He survived: the cow did not".

Can anyone add to this?
