Always hate hearing news like this.
My best wishes to the pilot and family for a full, speedy recovery.

Oh dear, this doesn’t sound good! Hopefully the Wildcat can be repaired and the pilot makes a full recovery!

Well that didn't last long. First N909WJ in Germany last year and now this one... Speedy recovery for the pilot.

BBC News in UK are reporting Police issued statement that pilot injuries are serious, but not life-threatening or life-changing, which has to be good news so far.

Thank you for being direct. I'm not familiar with many of the overseas pilots.

We watch a lot of 24 hours in A&E and they do take these types of accidents very seriously. Wishing a speedy recovery for him...
