After Flying Legends G-AIYR had just embarked with a new load of passengers for a short ride around Duxford when the starboard engine overheated and started a fire to the fabric of the wing. The fire was quicly extinguished, but destroyed much of the fabric. Fortunately no casualties of any sort other than the pride of the crew. I was happy to see the same aircraft in the air a year later. This photo is copyright © Fred Willemsen, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
