BBMF Lanc Ground Loop
Someone told me today that the BBMF Lanc had come off the runway and ground-looped while landing at its temporary home earlier this week. Is it Ok?

Nothing on a couple of other historic forums so far... hoepfully if it happened then there was no serious damage.
I thought she was supposed to have been at Flying Legends on Saturday, but the Spitfire and Hurricane came on their own... Dunno about Sunday.

The BBMF Lanc ground-looped at Mildenhall in the late eighties, or very early ninties, I caught it on video.
On that occasion there was very little damage and I was later told that the lanc has Lincoln undercarriage which was designed for a heavier aircraft and is therefore stronger.
