Very sad fatal accident at Headcorn yesterday, apparently involving the former Tiger Club Stampe G-AWEF.

The pilot has been named in the article below.

Very sad. I have my ticket booked for the Battle of Britain Airshow at Headcorn, which the Stampe team were practicing for.

The link above says that he didn't recover from a stall turn...possibly went into an uncontrolled spin as the aircraft yawed back around.

RIP :(
