Flyby PC Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 Seems this was the prototype aircraft, and crashed today, killing the pilot. Sad story. http://www.shuttleworth.org/tickets/event-details.asp?ID=148 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-18664332 Event Date: 01-07-2012 AIRSHOW CANCELLED The Shuttleworth Collection can confirm that earlier today an aircraft experienced difficulties and crashed at the airfield.Emergency Services and the Air Ambulance were called to the scene and one casualty airlifted to hospital.We are not releasing details of the persons identity or the nature of the injuries incurred.Todays planned airshow has been cancelled to allow accident investigators to assess the scene.We would like to thank both on-site and external emergency crews for their prompt reaction.The Shuttleworth Trust Quote
