The pic reminds me of the (unofficial) motto/mission statement of the Red

Did it "ground loop" or get caught by wind shear?

Difficult to tell from what you can see, but I'd guess at the nose wheel 
digging in for some reason and the plane tripping itself up.

Frank has an alibi. He was in an adjacent field, playing with his 
rajo-controlled scale model kamakaze plane.

Heh heh:

"Speaking to the BBC when the plane was completed in January 2007, Mr 
Knott, a grandfather of eight, said he took on the project after his 
wife told him to take up a hobby."

Bet she soon regretted That comment!

Oh, I dunno...  Some blokes are better with a nice hobby.  Keeps them 
out of our hair and stops them moaning about the state of out sewing 
machine/fabric/thread collections.

Trouble is at the moment mine is retiling the hall floor, which could
hardly be construed as keeping me out of anyone's anything.

...or by a bunny hole, perhaps?

Sadly, this incident will probably cause a load of hard-of-gooving 
armchair critics to witter illogically about people molishing their own 
aircraft...

Aye; critters with about as much intelligence as an armchair, innit.

I have to confess, I'd never thought to wonder if mine have any. I just sit
on them.

Perhaps it's relevant that they've never tried to bite me for it ? or maybe
that just indicates a lack of teeth, how would I know ?

There's got to be a bad "Turing test" pun in there somehow, but I can't find
it. Slipped down the back, I expect.
