Sea Fury accident was discussed on the mil forum, some skilled flying by Chris Gotke!

Kent Spitfire ended up on her nose, so certainly a new prop and perhaps an engine change.

Also a superb emergency landing was pulled off by John Romain in a Buchon at Headcorn at the end of June after a con rod went through the side of the block as he pulled up into a wingover or loop! Trailered back to Duxford, I believe the aeroplane was one of the two flying at Legends less than two weeks later with a replacment Merlin under the bonnet!
