Taildragger - if you departed when the airfield reopened, you missed the fact that there was another a/c ended up in a field beyond the end of the runway after they changed to 27 - it took off with a VERY distinct fluctuation in engine power and some black smoke from the exhaust, then went down. Pilot got out entirely OK.

I am not trying to sensionalise this stuff - despite the fact that on this occasion I was a road visitor and that there were no serious injuries, I have lost a lot of interest in flying right now.
