SFCC, hope injuries were nothing serious? Canopies appear to be open so assume they may have been able to exit unaided? Cowling looks a bit awry...

Very very pleased his first thought was the gear "get it up" - hence when flying retracts and especially warbirds, sometimes leave it till you know you are int the airfield boundary even at deadstick, before dropping it.... just my personal preference and not a lecture.... too many radials have coughed on me and with 2 fan stops - im trying to limit the potential of any more catching me out...
