[Richard Coutts-Smith]

Those Aussies who have marvelled at the aerobatic genius of Pip Borman (Hope I got the spelling right) will be saddened to here that he was killed at Sheparton yesterday, while practising for the Avalon Airshow.
He was a regular performer in the Castrol Edge 540, it had to be seen to be believed, the things he could do with that aircraft.....the laws of physics generally turned a blind eye when he was in the air.
Last I heard, it was thought to be a mechanical fault during a low level practice session
