Hopefully the pilot was relatively unhurt, too bad about the plane though. I'm sure that repairs will be made and she'll fly again.

It's amazing how slow these old warbirds can fly.

Northern Aeroplane Workshops built a notable reproduction for the Shuttleworth Collection (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shuttleworth_Collection). The aircraft is marked as Dixie II, representing the original Dixie, serial N6290, of No. 8 Naval Squadron (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No._208_Squadron_RAF). In recognition of the reproduction's remarkable authenticity, Sir Thomas Sopwith (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Sopwith) decreed it to be a “late production” Triplane.[30] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sopwith_Triplane#cite_note-Hiscock-30)
