The way one of the prop blades is bent suggests it ws not going round at impact so possibly a force lob event

I'm struggling to call that a Sea Fury, seeing as it doesn't have a Centaurus in it...😕

Not engaging the tailwheel castoring lock has caused Sea Furys to end up like that in the past. e.g. Yeovilton 1974.
