Crash of Spitfire ZU-SPT

Yesterday, at about lunchtime, Mike Snoyman was killed when his MK IX Spitfire crashed whilst in the circuit at Wonderboom Airport. The aircraft was totally destroyed. This was a Spitfire completely rebuilt at the Audley End shop and was absolutely magnificent. A very sad day for aviation. Condolences to Mike's family and close friends.

Yes truly sad news ......Mike Snoyman was as much a part of WonderTree as what anyone ever was ... He spent 1000's of hours flying there ...
Condolences to all his friends and family...

Very sorry to hear this, Mike gave me a breathtaking ride in his Porsche once which nearly convinced me to take up Law instead of being a poor pilot.

Deepest condolences.
