flag A fatal crash of a replica Spitfire at Enstone Airfield on July 28, 2024, remains unexplained, with the AAIB finding no mechanical failure or weather issues. flag Pilot Peter Hughes, 71, died when the aircraft veered off the runway, pitched up, rolled left, and crashed into a fire. flag Investigators noted normal takeoff initial phase but possible premature lift-off and inconsistent control inputs suggesting the pilot was conscious. flag The crash was the second at the airfield in a year, following Trevor Bailey’s 2023 death, both with no conclusive causes identified.
