Two people died in an accident near Saint-Christophe-sur-Avre in France on Saturday.
Quite apart from the tragic loss of lives, it is disconcerting to note from the photographs and the reports in French media that the aircraft apparently came apart in the air, shortly after take off (at least the engine and one wing were found far away from the main wreckage).
Media reports mention a "two-seater Cessna", but that doesn't match with the photographed engine (a six cylinder engine with a turbocharger).
I find catastrophic mid-air structural failures worrying. Does anyone know which type of aircraft it was?
