Yep, it was Mk 9 on a Cat III. Airframe is trashed but crew are OK. If you want any more, wait for the BOI!

Once again this incident shows us that the business of military aviation is not just medals before breakfast.
I believe the crew were pretty lucky to get out as I heard that the rotables were bust and the airframe caught light.
U keep on busting em and I'll try to fix em.
