Mods, can we change the tittle please not just ‘crash’. It is a Fatal and a loss being felt by a lot of people in the Australian Aviation community.
More importantly, can someone please correct Mr Kronk’s first name in post #1.

Sad and regrettable echo’s of Ron Flockhart, Formula 1 racing driver of the 1950’s who was killed flying his P51D in, I believe, Australia.
