I found the link however I am mistaken in that the aircraft shown being re-built is not G-HURR, in fact these aircraft are re-built from many new parts with very little of the original aircraft being used. With over 35,000 man-hours per aircraft, they do a remarkable job.

Today a classic is lost and more importantly a family is grieving, let's not lose the big picture here, I'm sure in time all the answers will come out.

Regardless of whether these aircrat are flown aggresively or passively, to ban them from flying would do an injustice to the memory of those who flew them in the past and those who will fly them in the future. Much like our scale aircraft, they were meant to fly not be stared at in a museum.

I think I just broke my soapbox, off to the pub for a beer...
