If I'm not mistaken I think she crashed last year on 18th July Landing at Headcorn when she bounced on lading in a crosswind and hit the airfield boundry hedge folding all four wings back against the fusealarge both on board walked away unhurt.
There is an accident report available from the Air Accident Investigation Branch.
Hope she's put back together again as she's a lovely old bird.
She is now owned by the Tiger Club and flown on pleasure flights with her counterpart G-ACDC. Curiously, at some point (possibly during her 1974 rebuild) her leading edge slats were omitted. and in response to the previous comment, no she doesn't have brakes
@jeep200000 sadly you are not mistaken. She is most unlikely to fly again.
