Hey, thanks for that Nick- yes, ’83 clicked as soon as you said it. I was only a kid on holiday in Cornwall at the time, hence the fuzzy memory!

‘Mt First Airshow Crash’ was about 1981, at Culdrose, when a little Beaver flipped into the ground, killing the pilot I think. Anyone got anything archival on that?
I was there too – strong crosswinds were the cause. Oh and it was 1983.
Pilot was Major Bill Smithson and the a/c XP811.
Picture of the a/c here taken at Binbrook a year before it crashed

I quoted 1974 after John Farley referred to it in a conversation a few weeks back. I bow to better knowlege.

I was only 8 when this accident happened, still remember it now, it was the first big crash I have witnessed, unfortunately, it was not to be my last. 🙁
