Sopwith Triplane mishap at Old Warden today

At the end of its display the Shuttleworth Trust's Sopwith Triplane undercarriage clipped a fence and the aircraft ended up on its nose. The pilot was physically unhurt (but probably p***** off). The wind had veered round during the display and so the approach was sideslipping from the right of the landing strip.

The first image is a few seconds after the event. The second about 45 minutes later.
