In the high-res version of the first image (Found here) the aircraft's cannon appears to have taken quite a knock since it appears to be off its mountings and all of the barrels are pointing in different directions, could the landing have done that or is it likely a problem that happened beforehand, perhaps even contributing to the emergency landing?
Also, I bet the guy who had to put the chocks on it felt a right prat.
