Not stricly to the detail, but a couple of background points... Reading my Moth Club News (the deHavilland, not the other kind) some fields (esp in North America) regard using the grass and inherintly unsafe; as they are geared up for nosewheel ops, and tailskid (i.e. Moth) requirements are well outside their scope.
My feelings are with the 262 guys; crumbs of comfort are that it's probably repairable; they are in an unusual position as regards replacement parts (if you think about it!) and most importantly, no-one was hurt. Let's hope it gets sorted asap.
