If by "unlucky" you mean at the hands of the press then yes because it appears he crashed his Mustang twice at Legends, the first time in 2001 parachuting to safety on every occasion probably even the Woodchurch incident (Jonh Belushi in 1941 springs to mind)...….

I am finding the above a little confusing
Elsewhere it states "The new owner was at the controls" Above it says "Janka Gux---- The new owner .... Her first concern was about the safe outcome of the pilot"

Hi Moggy :) It was Janka Gux [who i assume knows the people involved ] who posted the comment about the new owner.I left the name on there as it was a direct quote from them .It is a comment on the facebook page although i is in one of the reply sections .Seems a few people on there know the owner or had someone who worked on the aircraft.Glad the pilot is fine and it looks like the airframe will be looked after. https://www.facebook.com/Scramblemagazine/photos/a.216124641747411.66937.145237522169457/2222533584439830/?type=3&theater
The "lucky /unlucky comment is meant slightly tongue in cheek as most people would be unlucky to be involved in one incident BUT also lucky [with alot of skill involved] to have walked away each time :)

I’m hearing the damage is severe. Seems like anything can be rebuilt these days so fingers crossed it will be.

Was it as Woodchurch or Lashenden? Woodchurch appears to be a grass strip in some blokes back yard.

Giovanni Marchi was flying it, but his wife (Silvia Sorlini) is the owner? Anyone care to clarify?

Yes the male Italian was Flying it. I’m not sure why his wife is listed as the owner - I thought he was. Who knows.
