You're Top Poster: #1   | Hurricane Crash Sadly, a Hurricane of the Battle of Britain Flight crashed earlier, at the Shoreham Air Show. A sad loss of man and machine: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/6996734.stm Incase anyone was wondering what the "man missing in action" is: http://www.oldglorytraditions.com/missingmanhistory.htm

You're Top Poster: #1 | True, but accidents happen - even brand new, these machines had unexpected crashes. However, it highlights how, even with all the precautions, flying these aircraft is a dangerous enterprise. I salute these volunteers.

You're Top Poster: #4  | It never said it was a BoB Hurry. Just that was the theme of the show. I have never seen the BBMF perform dog fights.

You're Top Poster: #1 | Yes but this the "50th Anniversary of the BoBF Special". But before jumping the gun, lets see if there's any more news later today or tomorrow. I'm sure the BoBF site will make an announcement, regardless of who's aircraft it was.
