Interesting, ultimately well handled, and having a few hours on type - I had to recycle the gear a few times and thought that the ergonomics of the emergency gear drop was rather horrible (and reliability relatively untested) so if anything, I'm surprised we've not had more.

Shame the engine was running - that'll cost him. On the other hand, looks to have been well prepared and handled, and the main airframe damage kept to a minimum.

So, not just a good outcome, but a valuable bit of film for everybody else.
