Middle Wallop fatal aircraft crash investigated
Looks like one of the Aircraft for tomorrow's display? (Suggested elsewhere) has crashed, the Junkers replica parked nearby and Skeletal remains, one hopes it wasn't one of the guys that put on a superb WW1 display at Cosford

Sounds like it's the one from the Great War DisplayTeam, though some confusion over if it's the Eindekker or the Triplane that went down.

Sad a life lost, whichever plane it was.

Sadly it looks like it was the Eindekker:

It was the Eindekker. The chap was a neighbour, flew it (and his micro light ) almost every given day within limits of the weather. I shall miss seeing his flying machines on short final over my garden. R.I.P. aviator.
