I was there today too. Very saddened by events. I couldn't believe what I was seeing at first.

I recall that the two hurricanes were flying away from the airfield to the NE. The lead did a victory roll then the other one, behind and to his left, began a roll in the opposite direction and descended nose down.
As it disappeared behind the trees in the distance I hoped he could recover, but in the back of my mind I realised the chances were slim. Everyone around was shocked and saddened.

My sincere condolences to those who know him. I'm sure he would want flying to go on, after all it was clearly his life's passion.
