A witness filmed an experienced stunt pilot flying his pre-World War Two biplane just seconds before he lost control of the aircraft and died in an accident.
Video shows Angus Buchanan performing a stall turn in a Stampe biplane over a field near Headcorn Aerodrome in Kent yesterday at around 4.30pm before he crashed to the ground.
The witness, who saw the aircraft plummet at the site between Maidstone and Ashford, said the plane was one of three being flown and added it appeared to 'have performed a stall turn and lost control'.
Mr Buchanan built and flew light aircraft, and was a member of the Stampe formation display team, an airshow act which performs spectacular 1930s-inspired manouevres at speeds of up to 130mph.
