The charity operating the historic Hawker Sea Fury plane that crashed in a field in Somerset said "there is always hope" the aircraft will fly again.
The Sea Fury T.20 made a "precautionary forced landing" near the RNAS Yeovilton naval base on Wednesday afternoon.
Its pilots were taken to hospital as a precaution and one stayed in overnight.
Jock Alexander, from the Navy Wings charity, said he hoped the plane would get back in the air "but looking at the pictures, it does look a bit dodgy".
The crash happened following a "problem with the engine", 10 minutes into a routine training flight, Mr Alexander said.
