All very sad, I so hope that the families get good support and care after this terrible incident.
The Pitts was Pitts S-2C G-IICI by the way.

Touche – given that it is reported that it was a Pitts Special
Touche VeeOne – given that it is reported that it was a Pitts Special, they can get anywhere and in any orientation in seconds.
Sad for the bereaved just before Christmas too.

Hope it happened at low level in a circuit pattern. Something like that happening at 2 or 3 thousand feet doesn’t bear thinking about. Aerobatic aircraft can just pop up under you in an instant. 🙁

ASN is a wiki type website, so anyone can submit or edit an accident report.
RIP to the deceased 🙁

Glad to hear your friend is okay, Moggy. Indeed, sad nonetheless though as someone has died and a family is in mourning.
I believe ASN took a guess at the reg and got it wrong, from what I understand on pprune.
By: Newforest - 19th December 2011 at 15:30
That is good news for you but ASN has now removed the registration of the aircraft as there is some confusion whether the correct number was quoted.

I have a fellow pilot / friend at Leicester who own a Taylorcraft and at first I feared that it might be he.
A PM today has resolved that, but still left me saddened as it was a close friend of his.

The pilot of the Taylorcraft died in the accident. The aircraft was G-****. 🙁
Edit. Incorrect registration initially quoted.

The type info was here…….. So So sad
http://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/wiki.php?id=140470
I was worried that it could of been one of mine as they use Leic all the time, So I know how they must be feeling, my thoughts to the families, not a nice time so close to Christmas for this to happen (if any time of the year is). 🙁

Moggy, im not trying to provoke anyone into posting info, but do you get a bad feeling as you feel it might be a forum member or someone you know personally?
I don’t know anyone at Leicester but my heart goes out to those affected.

I’m getting a very bad feeling
