I was really surprised to see this Spitfire had a EFATO and ended up breaking a spar.

 

I would have thought it would be last thing to break. I thought it was a replica because is was described as MK912

Scotland Yard said that no-one else was on board when the single seater plane crash landed.

 

well that's a relief.

And "The aircraft is badly damaged but pilot Dan Griffith carried out a text book forced landing and is OK."

 

Sitting on it's side with one wing waving in the air?
