Gear up landing in Spitfire

That video is amazing - the props seem to just fly off. I would have expected some damage, but not for them to go flying off.

Yeah…nice job on that.

Wooden blades maybe? They would have broken off quite fast.

That would explain it. This aircraft is described as a replica, and wood props wouldn’t be all that far-fetched.
