A light aircraft had just landed at the Gatwick Aviation Museum on Lowfield Heath Road, Charlwood when it want off the landing strip and collided with a vehicle, believed to be an HGV, before hitting one of the planes that was on display, ripping a section of the starboard wing off. Three people were injured.
According to Peter Mills of the Gatwick Aviation Museum, the damage has been overstated by the press, quote: "Light aircraft had starboard wing outer section damaged plus a number of other "dings". One museum airframe had a couple of paint scrapes. About all I'm prepared to say at this time"
Per the subsequent AAIB report, the damaged museum exhibit was the museum's Avro Shackleton.
