Empire Air Day at Aldergrove either 1948 or 49. A Tiger Moth doing an aerobatic display only managed 90% of a loop. Engine crushed the front cockpit but it was being flown solo so the pilot shaken but not stirred.
Whole lot put on a trailer and paraded in front of the crowd so that they could see what a crashed aeroplane looked like.
