According to the TV, a vintage aircraft just crashed in the suburbs of Lisbon, while flying there on behalf of a “Museum weekend” (or something like that). Both pilots were killed. Anyone has more details? Looks to me like it is one of their airforce historic flight aircraft (hope I am wrong). BW Roger

Do you mean that 1774 was on the tail or 1675?

Picked up from a search on Google News:
Two Portuguese soldiers died Sunday when their military plane crashed near the capital Lisbon, a military spokesman told Lusa news agency.
The aircraft, which had taken part in the conflicts that led to Portugal’s pullout in the 1970s from its colonies in Africa, was owned by the aviation museum.
It plunged for unknown reasons into a residential area near the train station of Algueirao but no one on the ground was hurt.
