Looks like it was the one Tulio took the picture of at Houston Executive, last week. Here's the thread.

The guy who owns it makes a big deal over the fact that it was flown by Prince Charles.

My first thought was:
Oh, fxxk!!!!
Although I don't know the pilot, I saw him and his airplane once at Sugarland, and then last Saturday at the Houston Executive fly-in.
I also believe that the pilot is a WIXer, but for the life of me, I cannot remember his name.
Good news though, there are no reported injuries.

Tulio,
I used to be a part owner of that jet, but sold out months ago.
It was just TOO expensive to support a JP and a B17 on my salary.
Best wishes to my ex-podners.

Report from those who know.
It is not destroyed.
Possibly more than $5.00 to fix, but not destroyed.
Left gear collapsed, tip tank turn off but A/C fixable.
Both souls on board wearing brain buckets and have a grand story to tell their kids.

I think he meant torn off. The rest is pretty clear.

fanx...
yes I meant Left Tip tank (with the extra petrol) torn off, on fire and last seen being put out by the local Fire Dept.
The airframe never lit-off, so the locals are to be commended for their restraint in not hosing down the whole A/C with corrosive chemicals in the name of saving it.
This is a revoltin' development, as it is the Plane HRH Price Charles solo'd in.
While the Chuckster is not known as a bayonet in his teeth defender of Western Civilization he is potentially the future King of England.
AND it was a hoot to fly!!!

Spanner,
Then, I have a photo of you and the JP at the Sugarland airport, a couple of years ago.
According to what I recall, the airplane had just had its radios serviced there.
