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.
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. The right wing of the Piper hit a truck, severing the wingtip; the aircraft spun to the right and came to rest with its nose under the engine of a second Shackleton. The pilot shut down the aircraft and the occupants vacated without injury
