That for me is a true tragedy, even more so if it cost the pilot his life. It's a piece of history that can never be restored.

This really is a tragic loss. More so since the pilot lost his life. The aircraft itself served as a test bed in the development of other similar aircraft.

At some point, these rare historical aircraft should not be flown.

As much as I'm an aviation enthusiast I tend to agree with you :yep:
