Sea Fury Restoration On Track
The Royal Navy pilot who narrowly avoided crashing a malfunctioning plane at the Culdrose airshow says it's fantastic to see it being restored.
Lt Cdr Chris Gotke received the Air Force Cross for his piloting skills, after the Sea Fury suffered catastrophic engine failure.
He made a forced landing in which the plane suffered significant damage.
Gotke has now visited the team of engineers who are painstakingly restoring the aircraft after the crash in July 2014.
Soon after the incident, it was transported to North Weald Airfield in Essex where a team of three are working on the plane. It's expected to fly in 2017.
