Yes, sometimes you don't have a choice of good or bad, sometimes it's between bad or worse. I'm always interested in the details. It looks like he took off on Rwy 11, made a left 180 turn and came down just north of the Alouette Flying Club, on the east side of the airport. Go to Google Maps and search for "Alouette Flying Club, Biggin Hill, United Kingdom", then select Earth view to see the situation. A forced landing off the end of Rwy 11 looks bad, a lot of forest and small fields bordered by trees, and according to locals, he was only airborne for ~90 seconds. Now zoom in on Rwy 11 for a treat- a Spitfire is turning onto it from a taxiway on the west end.
