Couldn’t find a previous thread, so the report says no fault could be found to cause the accident.

Not here…….

Yet, other replicas (and the odd non aviation topic) were allowed here….

See Duxford thread for replica Spitfires…

The AAIB bulletin is an interesting read, to me it sounds a lot like a situation where the pilot wasn’t able to control the swings associated with flying a relatively powerful taildragger.

I’m sure he did it for our own good; could you do a link, as I would like to have a read.

Not here, Moggy banished a nice thread I prepared on an American Homebuilt Spitfire program to the backwater seldom seen General Aviation forum.

Yet, other replicas (and the odd non aviation topic) were allowed here….

Ditto home build Spitfires: but they still get discussed/photographed ad infinitum!
