I'm glad they were able to save it but that DOES suck!

Wow that could have been MUCH worse.

Yes indeed, those fabric covered wings are a fire waiting to happen. Is it just me (non-aircraft guy) or are these period restored aircraft subject to a higher than average number of problems/crashes/etc.?
Not good. Glad to see it wasn't worse.

Did that same aircraft have that same problem a few years ago? Anyone remember Trackend's video and still of that?

Sad to see, but at least it didn't catch the whole aircraft. The Vickers Vimmy at Manchester, back in the late 1970s, was totally destroyed in seconds in a similar incident, caused by ignition of fuel vapour on the fabric.
