I think I figured out why the plane crashed, no need for NTSB. 
"With oil gushing from the fuel tank"

While the accident is certainly no laughing matter both my brother and I had a good chuckle at the stellar reporting quoted above. Unbelievable! Do these people even think when they are putting sentences together? Best wishes to the injured pilot for a speed recovery.

It's almost as if the article had been translated from another language with a second rate program.

By the way, a Thunder Mustang is not a warbird. I know they like to advertise in the warbird section of Barnstormers and Trade A Plane, however they are just a high end kitplane.

That almost as good as saying the reason for the crash was someone filled the fuel tanks with air.

Picky, picky, picky....
Just don't be like the jerks on the UK forum.
I posted a very interesting link to a guy in the US that was making replica Spitfires.
They automatically exiled it to the General Aviation forum (which no one reads) because it wasn't "Historic"...it's a new plane.
But that doesn't stop the fanboys from going all gushy about a 99% new Spitfire whose only original bits are the data plates.
I think its real sin was the replicas weren't being built in the commonwealth.....
UPDATE: I see they just moved this thread to the WIX general aviation section...otherwise known as the witness relocation program because no one will ever see it now.
