    Not good news but could have been 100 times worse.

    Controlled gear-up landing rather than a crash.

    Pilot walked away, that's the most important thing. Hope that they can repair the aircraft.

    Didnt Sea Vixens have a bit of a bad reputation?

    Any news on what damage was done and if repairs are possible?
    It looked to me that the wing tanks did a decent stand in job for a set of wheels and that nothing of the fuselage seemed to come in contact with the ground.

    The only update I've seen so far said they were investigating the hydraulic system to see why it didn't work just when it was most needed.

    The lower fuselage frames took some damage according to the photos on the RNHF Facebook page.

    I don't believe so - only a couple are kept indoors, the rest have been displayed outside for many years. XP924 was always kept airworthy until its accident, the others have been out of use decades. Repairing XP924 would be the cheapest option but still about £3m.
