The crash A/C was G-TOOT a Dyn'Aero MCR01 VLA version; 100hp Rotax engined. This type does not have a history of tailplane failure; there are hundreds of MCR01 flying on the continent with no known tailplane failures.
A single UK registered microlight version of the MCR01 did loose a tailplane; this particular A/C had a chequered history; PM me if you need more details.
