Flyet opereres av Norwegian Spitfire Foundation. Flyger var Eskil Amdal som hadde meg  i bakset på Sola Airshow i 2018 i en P-51. Video viser motorstart, som ikke er helt patent, take off hvor du ser mistenkelig røyk, deretter havaristedet. Utrolig at det ikke tok fyr. Godt Jobba Eskil!

This dramatic photo shows the wreckage of a vintage British fighter plane after it crashed during a routine flight - leaving the pilot and a passenger injured.

The Hawker Sea Fury aircraft came down in a field at around 5.15pm  on Tuesday, after having to make a forced landing, leading to the plane sustaining a fuel leak.

The shocking photo shows the serious damage to the front of the plane, which appears to have been severed in two by the cockpit as it seemingly struck a tree on its way down.
