According to one of the reports the pilot repaired the aeroplane and flew it out the same day. In other words he bulk stripped the engine due to prop striking the fence, refitted it to the airframe, fitted a new prop all in the same day. In the meantime he tracked down the sunbaking dude on the beach and called him to apologise for nearly killing him......now that's what I call German precision.
Must have been a Luftwaffe pilot and expert in on the field maintenance. I want to know him so I can offer him a job....
