Lucky boys ! Looks like a lot of damage for 4g ?

[Runaway Gun]

I think the article mentions THAT damage due to the landing (which could have been heavy with such a small elevator surface remaing).

Check out the elevator!
What elevator?!! :eek:

[S76Heavy]

So they avoided the mountain but not the trees on the mountain? Should perhaps have pulled 4,5 G...

"So general, here you have your aircraft back, thanks for the loan.. it just needs a good cleaning really.." Can we have ours now please? :}

Seriously, reminds me of the pics of WW2 B17's all shot up. Remarkable machines.

Now if the rest of the elevator had departed.......:uhoh:

Hmmm, bit late on the round-out again, Hoskins(ki) :}

[Always a Sapper]

Pah, seen worse, a box of nails, a couple of sheets of 10mm ply and a few rolls of black nasty should fix that up nice........ :ok:

I'd send the chippy right over, but he's building a bar at the moment :suspect:
