Gnat crashed in UK, today 1-8

Hi all,

Sad news as one of the well known Gnats from the Heritage Aircraft Trust (from North Weald) crashed while preparing for or actually doing a display at Oulton Park. The pilot was killed.
Cheers,

Sad news pilot Kevin Whyman died in the crash. Involved Gnat should be XS111/G-TIMM.

R.I.P.
kind regards,

Maurits
