This shows the moment, in the first, diving, high-speed pass at its Duxford display, when the canopy of the distinctive Malcolm Hood shattered !! The shards of plexiglass can be seen showering over the tail. "Berlin Express" immediately landed, safely. It had been flown transatlantic to appear in the Flying Legends air show, arriving only days earlier. Repairs were successfully completed at Duxford, with a test flight on 23 June 2018.
