Bloody quick thinking from that man, all in a matter of seconds.
Tom and I were at the AirSpace end and saw it all unfold, from our viewpoint I thought he'd come down on the M11.
Glad to hear she's repairable.
Looks like he's one of the Yakovlev team:

I heard the pilot was Mark Levy, gear was retracted deliberately and early assessment is the aircraft is quite repairable.
Was a very frightening sight as it unfolded because from my vantage point it looked like he was going into the Airspace hangar.
