Seems the damage to the Blenheim isn't minimal and could be described as substantial with significant skin damage and a report of her back being broken, also damaged props, undercarriage possibly 'torn-off' and one engine partially torn from mounting. Lets hope it's not as gloomy a picture that these intial 'reports' suggest. By all accounts it appears John Webb made a splendid job of getting her down as well as he did.
My commiserations to all at ARCo, and I hope they can work their magic for a third time and we'll see gracefull sight of a Blenheim in the air again.
