Firstly I hope no one was injured

Secondly I hope that the part's, time and money can be found to repair the Spitfire, would be a crying shame if it was written off or made un airworthy...........

Doesn't look right to me. Looks like some kind of static display.

There is something not quite right about that picture.

Looks like a mock up?

They usually dig a trench and bend the prop. This one built its self a bank to crash on and kept its props straight!

You'd have to be very short on brain cells to believe that crashed! silly

It's an amazing coincidence that it landed on the War and Peace Show, on over the weekend.

One of the blades was bent.The actual prop came off a real Spit last year that had a slight mishap.
