Lang Kidby's Avro Avian VH-UFZ was rebuilt in less than 8 weeks after being similarly seriously damaged in a landing accident in the UK a few years ago. I seem to recall the wings were torn off after it swung off the strip into standing crops at Milden.

Can't find a pic but memory has a wingless fuselage lying on its side. Several UK restoration companies put their backs in to the work and I doubt they had much in the way of spare parts to hand.

Lang subsequently flew it home to Australia.
