By the looks of the gun, it doesn't appear to be a gentle process - maybe
the gear retracted unexpectedly.

Probably something like that since the right wheel is still chocked.

Unless someone wanted to make sure the thing didn't leave the scene of the

course, there's always this rivalry between the 109 and the Spitfire. And I
am often asked: which plane I think is better. I tell them I shot down 10
Spitfires, and that's my answer."
