Runway over-run.
What's that 'T' tailed jet tail-to-camera in one of the pictures?

Looks like an L-29 Delfin to me SSD.
Edit:
Here it is on Google (https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.8027482,-0.9232089,3a,24.4y,114.66h,87.02t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sfkZRUR_p6c3yQCnGTBzR9A!2e0!6s%2F%2Fgeo1. ggpht.com%2Fcbk%3Fpanoid%3DfkZRUR_p6c3yQCnGTBzR9A%26output%3 Dthumbnail%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26thumb%3D2%26w %3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D36.699127%26pitch%3D0!7i13312!8i665 6)...

I have joined Freedom due to relocation and started flying their Warriors which look and fly great. At some point one of them just vanished from the booking system with a surprising amount of secrecy around it (as I asked what happened). Now I know why.
As always - the most important thing is that they were able to walk away from it. Aircraft are replaceable, lives aren't.
Does anyone know more about what happened? Which runway were they on etc.?
