Replica Fokker EIII, G-CHFS

Summary:

The aircraft was taking part in a practice air display when, during a right turn, at a relatively low altitude, the aircraft began to descend, turning through an estimated two full rotations before striking the ground. It was considered probable that in the turn the aircraft entered a sideslip and developed a roll rate which could not be reversed by its wing-warping roll control system.
