My most sincere condolences to the families!
Any ideas guys?
What happened here?
Who was the crew?
Was this another preventable accident?

The pilot/co-owner was a friend and respected physician from Johannesburg. Enthusiastic aerobatics pilot who participated in his first competition, and winning a medal, just last week. Did not know the co-pilot, just by name. Families still to be informed.
Two straight rolls during a flypast at Tedderfield, and crashed. Both killed on impact.
Rest in peace RN.
