Looking at the slow speed part, the P-51 looks undammaged, Skyraider lost part of wing, but managed to land.
Did P-51 pilot panic, or was elevators uncontrollable?
the P-51 control and trim cables run alongside the fuselage on double sets, the point of impact was where they do run, which probably severed them.

Considering the pilot's age (64), he acted incredibly fast and managed to get out of it almost unscathed. Hats off to Rob Davies!

The voice at the end of the clip on Flying Film link at normal speed i think is the pilot of Ferocious Frankie who circled Robs landing site for a few minutes after he went down - incase anybody wondered ;P

Why is a 64 year old allowed to fly a warbird? That would be like allowing him to drive a F1 car...
