Further to your earlier posts guys, I've just seen this on the Teletext pages.

NEWS STORY 3/6/01

FIGHTER CRASHES AT AIRSHOW
A Second World War fighter has crashed into the ground and exploded in a ball of flame at the Biggin Hill Airshow -just 100 yards away from the crowd.

The crash is the second tragedy at the Kent show in two days after two men were killed when their De Havilland Vampire fell from the skies yesterday.

It was not known how many were on board today's plane or if they survived.

My condolences go to all those involved in both incidents.
I hope that some comfort can be gained from the fact that these people were, at the time, involved in a pastime that they held very close to their hearts.
