Spitfire down Biggin

[FerrypilotDK]

Damn! A Spit just took off, lost the engine partially at about 400 feet, tried to turn back and came right over the garden. Made it past perimeter fence and hit trees at Biggin! Jumped in car to help, but as he is airside, plenty of professionals. Don't know how he is. No fire, ambulances arrived.
