And if you look at http://www.redditchadvertiser.co.uk/new ... ow/?ref=mr
you'll see the pilot had better not buy lottery tickets this year, because he has already used up all his luck for 2011 !

I am very curious how this plane burned up like that. I learned that one should cut the fuelline and apply ful power in order to extinguish the fire (burn the fuel in the engine, not outside). I looks like (and this is speculation) that this plane flew to the ground using engine power instead of becoming a glider.
This not for speculation purposes, but I flew the same type and like to learn from others experiance.
