Grumman F3F Emergency Landing at Oakington

A friends Grumman F3F making an emergency landing following a bolt failure in the drag strut, in the right side landing gear. On final approach, you can see it hanging much lower than the port gear. John planned to land in the grass, but the model floated on a bit more than he expected, and while touching down in the grass, continued onto the concrete. Other than slight scuffing to the bottom of the wing, the aircraft was undamaged. I think this clip was filmed by a friend of mine, Pete Simpson.
