Warbirds damaged in Galveston

We haven't seen any news stories about this yet, but we've noticed that the aviation message boards are busy with talk about an incident in Galveston. It appears that the pilots are fine but a couple of warbirds (a Spitfire and a Hurricane) have been damaged. You can follow the chatter with us at: AAFO, Airshowbuzz, and Warbirds Resource Group.

Update: Read the Airshowbuzz thread above - Deb Mitchell posted a write-up on the initial investigation. Both planes will be restored, but it may take some time. Pictures were linked to on the Airshowbuzz thread also.
