We are very sad to have to advise you that our two seat Spitfire Elizabeth experienced a landing today where the undercarriage was not fully locked down. The passenger and pilot are unhurt and the damage to the aircraft appears to be light. We will post a more comprehensive report on the damage when the engineers have properly assessed it's condition. We thank everyone for the kind messages that we have been receiving and hope to get Elizabeth back in the air as soon as possible
