Boston A20 Incident at WBCA Air Show

[Merlin51h]

News from the US state that the Boston A20 Havoc N747HS that was one of the display aircraft at the WBCA Air Show, experienced an engine problem, apparently caught fire and 'crash landed' where the fire was put out and one person was extracted and taken to hospital in critical condition.

The aircraft is part of the Lewis Fighter Fleet.

Best wishes are with the injured.
