fly_tornado Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I was really surprised to see this Spitfire had a EFATO and ended up breaking a spar. I would have thought it would be last thing to break. I thought it was a replica because is was described as MK912 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3182325/Spitfire-crashes-Biggin-Hill-Airport-losing-power-taking-off.html before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
