I think the windshields might still be usable again?

The tail section still looks almost brand new too.

Wonder how it got so bent, it's not like it's all that hilly round there, plenty of spaces to land.

Viewing that photo made the last few lines of an Aviation based song I heard another lifetime ago spring to mind...

"............so if you crash it, do it right.
as you crawl from the wreckage, set it alight!
And the Boss will buy you a beer and tell you that
'You're all right!"

Er...not that I would even suggest such a thing....

Wow a dam fine effort - what the hell happened - looks like the top of left wing has hit the ground.

Looks overcast in the pic, maybe a shower in the background?
Young fella ended up in the soup?

Not sure that this pilot had any spare AVGAS remaining to do that, Pinky?
