Twister crash Abingdon

I've waited until the AAIB has finished it's investigation into this incident before posting. It happened in May of last year at the Abingdon Air Show.

The LAA has featured some information in the latest Safety Spot section of it's magazine and I share it here.

As you will read below the reason for the engine failure is still inconclusive - they know why but not exactly how it happened.

Here is the best video of the accident: https://youtu.be/Zy23svkbWMc?t=2m59s

I'm pleased to say Chris has made a full recovery and is back into display flying again.

When the AAIB report is published I will update this post with a link to it.
