"The pilot was seen parachuting out and is ok - this has been announced over the airfield. The Skyraider, missing a large chunk of it's right wing, was able to make a safe landing at Duxford. It happened after the break away at the end of the Balbo."

As I understand it, the Skyraider hit the 51 and broke its back in mid flight...

From a reliable source of mine, It happened over the Tank Bank apparently, As soon as pics are available I'll post them.
