A thread on PPRuNe says that Spitfire SL721 has suffered an incident on landing. Thankfully no injuries to the pilot or anyone on the ground. Initial post shown below:
"Earlier today a Spitfire, mark unknown, had the landing gear collapse on landing. Damage is said to be to the belly and the prop. No injuries to the pilot, Michael Potter. The fuselage lettering, I think, was J MR. The aircraft appears to be a latter type PR series as it is painted that nice blue.....
Hopefully Mr. Potter can get that work of art back in the air as soon as possible, after all, they do sound and look absolutely marvelous and not too many around this part of the world." - Posted 11th September
