Crashed during Barnstormers air display at Cranfield, Bedfordshire on 5/5/1986; Failed to recover from manoeuvre at the end of a display sequence. Pilot killed. According to an eyewitness report:
"5th of May 1986, it was at the Barnstormers May Day Display. I stood and watched it happen, spun in off a low tight turn. I was standing with other members of the Barnstormers at the time, we all began to run to the scene but I was turned away by Murray Felstead before I witnessed what he had seen. Not a pretty site by all accounts. I believe the pilots name was Paul Bishop, his girl friend was in the crowd at the time"
