A very short piece here from about 32:50:

BBC Local Live: 'Serious failures' at council children's services - BBC News

Summarised as:

Engineers still don't know whether a rare Cold War fighter aircraft can be repaired after its emergency landing at Yeovilton's naval air station two weeks ago.

The only flying example of the Sea Vixen was on its way back from an airshow but it's wheels didn't come down and it was forced to do a belly landing.

Experts at Royal Navy historic flight are still trying to assess the damage and say it's too soon yet to say whether it will fly again.
Nevertheless, nothing has yet been found which would prevent the aircraft being repaired and flying again!
