How do you know the aircraft type? No mention of it in that report.

Sadly the pilot has been confirmed as John Fairey.

He will be sorely missed. Sad

The older generation will remember him and his replica of the Fairey Flycatcher in the 80s and 90s. The even slightly older ones will remember him in his Spitfire T8 G-AIDN.

I can't believe John has gone Cry

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Very sad news indeed. John was a great performer and from what I've heard a very nice man. He will be missed both by his friends and family and UK airshow goers alike Sad

Taken at Kemble a few weeks ago....
