As car park prangs go, this was more serious than the average shunt.
But it could have been far worse - considering it involved a runaway RAF Hawk jet.
The £5million aircraft was due to become part of the Red Arrows fleet.
It was being delivered to RAF Cranwell in Lincolnshire to be sprayed in the display team's signature red livery when it crashed on landing and skidded off the runway.
The Hawk hurtled across the airfield, smashing into a crew building and three cars before coming to a rest next to the air traffic control tower.
The two-man crew ejected during the drama and were treated in hospital for their injuries.
