| VX281/120-VL Sea Fury T20S suffered an engine failure at about 2,000ft during its display, with extremely professional flying, | |||
| the pilot made an emergency engine off landing, he did not lower the undercarriage until the last second to avoid the aircraft from stalling, | |||
| unfortunately the starboard undercarriage did not fully lock and it collapsed when it came in contact with the runway, causing the port undercarriage to also collapse. | |||
| The aircraft veered onto the grass where the pilot made his escape. Hopefully the aircraft can be rebuilt by the Royal Navy Historic Flight and return to | |||
| next year’s air show circuit. | |||
