Do we know who was in it and if they are OK?
I now have my answer.
Not exactly unscathed, but thanks for the reply anyway....however misguided.

SFCC, hope injuries were nothing serious? Canopies appear to be open so assume they may have been able to exit unaided? Cowling looks a bit awry...

But Mark is an incredible stik-n-ruda man
Very very pleased his first thought was the gear "get it up" - hence when flying retracts and especially warbirds, sometimes leave it till you know you are int the airfield boundary even at deadstick, before dropping it.... just my personal preference and not a lecture.... too many radials have coughed on me and with 2 fan stops - im trying to limit the potential of any more catching me out...
