Wheels up landing for Seafire in France

Pilot Anna Walker had to make a wheels up landing with Seafire SX336 at Bondues in France on July 1st. Pilot is fine, the Seafire faired a little worse.

At least she will fly again ( the Seafire ), it could have been much worse :(

Like you say Duncan, the plane can be rebuilt but i still hate to see these precious machines damaged.
The good thing is Miss Walker came away from it in one piece.
