Default Duxford 2011 Crashes.

Only recently discovered that there were two aircraft accidents at Duxford 2011. One involved a triplane that landed and ended nose down. The other involved two aircraft, P51 Mustang 'Big Beautiful Doll' and a skyraider aircraft. Unfortunately the skyraider made contact with the Mustang while doing a display of formation flying, hitting the tail of the Mustang. The skyraider made it down but, the Mustang was completely destroyed. The pilot was able to bail out just in time.

Throw in the B17 and it was not a good year.
