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.

Dixie II on a better day . air maneuvers and fward slip to landing
Northern Aeroplane Workshops built a notable reproduction for the Shuttleworth Collection. The aircraft is marked as Dixie II, representing the original Dixie, serial N6290, of No. 8 Naval Squadron. In recognition of the reproduction's remarkable authenticity, Sir Thomas Sopwith decreed it to be a “late production” Triplane.[30]
