D-IFF Ident
I don't think you are correct about Art's bit of magic old bean. As I recall, his aircraft had a starter motor problem, in that it wouldn't stop! and eventually caught fire. The rest is history.
I will refrain from speculating, its just not worth it under the circumstances and frankly, anyone who knows anything about the MR2 will know that it could have been one of a number of things thast went wrong. Although I do understand the need for folks to talk openly about what might have happened, I think it best that we leave it to the experts to come up with the facts.
Kind regards to all
