Just picked this up on the WiX forum.
It appears that the ex TFC/VWOC MK.IV has been destroyed in a crash : –

I see a departure from controlled flight during a steep turn. I do not think the pilot had enough height to gain speed and recover.

The end of this video shows tip stall off the stbd wing, and immediate departure, partial recovery and secondry stall and flick at about 100 feet. Too sad.

Appears to have departed from controlled flight during a low level wingover to bring the aircraft back on to the display line/airfield.
