WWII fighter plane crash lands

A rare World War II fighter plane has crashed landed at an airfield in Essex. Fire crews were called to North Weald Airfield where the Hawker Hurricane Mark II came down at 1140 GMT. An Essex Fire Service spokesman said the plane is thought to have had a problem with its landing gear but no one was hurt in the accident. The spokesman said no one was trapped in the plane and there was no leaking fuel. The Ambulance Service also attended the incident.

From the photo on the report it looks like more of a heavy landing than a crash.

looks like a pretty small "crash". she looks in pretty good shape. the word "crash" has all kinds of interpretations. probably sold a lot of newspapers with it though..

This just jogged my memory. Over the weekend we lost a TBM in New Jersey (Millville, IIRC). This was a fire and except for the cowling and the tail everything else is burned.

Not so much now. These days the tabloid press make up stories about people and get away with it. They also manipulate events to get a better story. Our tabloid press are filth.

I'll never understand how she did so well in court - I didn't think she had a leg to stand on.
