Photo Comment

Famously ditched in the sea off the coast of Herne Bay, Kent, on 14 August 2016, after its engine lost power during a Tiger Club Turbulent Team display. Rebuilt but loss of engine power resulted in a forced landing at Damyns Hall, Upminster on 18 October 2020. This was blamed on the use of plastic rocker arms. Cancelled by the CAA in July 2021.
