Plane down last Sunday

Hi all,

I have just spotted this on the front page of the local papers website.
Pilot praised for landing plane safely near homes (From Bucks Free Press)

Seems to me that they are stating the obvious when they say "he had not intended to land there."

Does anyone have any more info on this or is able to identify the make and model of plane from the somewhat poor photo? They describe it as a 65 year old vintage plane and it looks like some sort of taildragger.

However all in all it looks like the pilot made a successful landing after what I assume to be an engine failure. So congrats to him on a successful avoidance of potential disaster.
