A JP display pilot crashed at Linton in the spring of 1977.
I remember that one because it was the day before I arrived to begin my BFTS course on the aircraft.
The pilot didn't die but he was very severely injured and I don't think he ever recovered. The SMO got a bravery award for digging in the earth down to the pilot and performing a tracheaotomy on him in situ, which saved his life (aircraft was inverted, with him still strapped into the live ejection seat).
Something in the depths of my memory also tells me there may have been yet another aeros accident later, perhaps the one previously referred to.
