Experienced pilot and plane fanatic Peter Teichman must have felt like crying after taking his new pride and joy for a zoom.He spent three-and-a-half years having a 1940 Hurricane Mark II Bomber restored, only to experience a mechanical brake failure in the landing gear as he brought it in from one of its first flights.
The Second World War plane tipped forwards onto its nose and bounced along the runway, smashing the propellor on its wild ride. Somehow, the plane did not flip, and nor was the pilot hurt (apart from his pride).
