Condolences to all those concerned and thoughts for the pilot and family,
Is this aircraft based (or previously) at Breighton?, been in there once for fuel and saw one similar?
...saw it...touched it....was in awe of it...if it was!!

According to a few websites this is the old girl...
Sadly, aircraft can be rebuilt but pilots can't
I've displayed at Shoreham and it can be ridiculously tight with rising ground to the North and on it a massive old private school to avoid.
Sad days...

Very sad news.
BBC South Today news bulletin at 1740 had pictures showing black smoke pall and second picture, close in, showing that the ac is completely burnt out - only the metal skeleton of the fuselage recognisable as a Hurricane. "Fires crews were hampered in getting to the scene due to foot and mouth restrictions."
Condolences to all.

I saw the same bulletin as you and I heard the "Foot & Mouth" stuff. Surely, human life takes precedent over foot and mouth restrictions? If it didn't the Police, who tend to take primacy on accident reaction through Gold and Silver Control, need kicking out - what a bunch of amateurs! Let's hope that the news report was mistaken.
