G-HURR which fatally dived into the ground from a similar height at Shoreham in 2007 was never re-built from the wrecked parts of that.
Tragic for the pilot, his family and his friends.

I understand there is a bit of a shortage of main spars and they are unlikely to make any more due to the alloy used no longer being produced.
