He's probably sold it to a news channel or something and removed it. A shame as it was a better view but this one shows it in a way too:

hope that the Skyraider will fly again and hope that there are still more P51's in flying condition around the world as they both are wonderful planes :)

The video is on the beeb's website or at least part of it if you ignore the commentary

Lots of aircraft movement over the last few days over the village..

A few days ago Duxfords Sally B (B17) went out and then came back just north of the village. Yesterday three tiger moths went from ENE to WSW in formation (they go so slow it looked like they'd drop out of the sky. Another two plane formation followed the same path today (didn't see what they were but both same type low wing mono-planes (one reddish the other white) and not flying east towards duxford a low flying WW2 radial aircraft (from the jointed wings and grey underbelly I'd say it was one of their corsairs though it didn't pop up on MODE-S)

News crews are being asked not to film, that's normally bad news :(

From another very reliable forum one of the merlin helicopters displaying attended the scene itself just after the crash happened.

Update

Update 2

I do hope that pilot is ok.

Re: Plane Spotters Corner
 

Unofficial updates..

Plane came down in the open ground between Throop Village and castlepoint shopping centre (just south of the bournemouth airport.

Hopefully true is that the pilot has ejected..

The planes were coming back to the airport after the display..

Reports that the pilot has been dragged out of the river by dog walkers after the plane crashed just south of the river from the airport???

If it is RED4 as reported then it's Flight Lieutenant Jon Egging.. I really hope that he's OK

Daily Mail suggests it's Lt Dave Davies which might make it to be RED8

The young man in question is my workmates son, he is progressing well but has had a lot of surgery to help him recover.

I have just heard that his face is healing well, although it is 'a bit pink' as his mum says :)

Re: Plane Spotters Corner
 

Red arrows incident:

Unofficial rumours say the pilot ejected and is OK.

Lets hope that is true and everyone is ok.
