The engine on the Pucara looks a bit, erm, droopy?

Looks like the whole wing is a bit twisted on that side.

I bet it hasn’t got an engine in and the support for the hub has failed causing the nacelle to droop but I agree on second look it looks like the wing is twisted- spar fatigue?

Thought the same. Visited there 2 weeks ago and what a thoroughly enjoyable day. Staff welcoming and all for free. Made a donation as I felt guilty about seeing it all for free. Would recommend to anyone in the area.
Best regards Steve
