Looks like he nearly got away with it but had to attempt to hop or overran into the hedge / ditch / fence which caused the nose gear to collapse, from the scheme it is in, Ex Hong Kong by the looks of it. Still he / she walked away and as there appear to be wires further on in the field, a succesful landing all things considered.

Strange on the last image they have removed the Registration, but the huge first one has it for all to see. I just hope they get it shifted pronto as kids have been about already.

If the serial number of 408 is correct, it belonged to the Botswana Defence Force.

Yes , served with the Botswana Defence Force and not the HK Defence Force as reflected in the colour scheme which was only applied earlier this year when the aircraft registration reverted back to it's original G-BHXB from G-JWCM following it's move from Fishburn Airfield up to Eshott .
