INCIDENT STATEMENT
We are aware of an incident involving one of our Spitfire aircraft in the vicinity of Hythe.
We have spoken to the pilot who has advised that a precautionary landing was made at a non-airfield site.
The pilot and passenger are uninjured and at this stage we have no further information.

Sad to hear, but apparently a good landing, with minimal damage. I hope to see her above my house again soon- it's on the two-seat Spitfires' regular route to Seven Sisters.
 
Sad, but it looks rebuildable.
