Awfully sad for all concerned; I seem to remember that some years ago the UK CAA withdrew the permit to fly from all the BD5 derivations, on the grounds that at least 50% of those built were involved in accidents. What may have seemed like an over-reaction at the time, looks like a prescient decision today.
