Yup. We flew 'em 'til the wings fell off


Biggin Hill, 21 September 1981. All 7 people on board killed.

There's an interesting (and quite long) discussion of this accident (and the
aircraft's pilot) at:

This crash apparently resulted in a 'no passengers' rule being brought in for
flying displays in the UK.

The attached picture shows the A-26 on its way down.
