Brian North, 72, from Parker, south of Denver, was flying a scaled down copy of a [glow=yellow,2,300]World War One-era Gipsy Moth[/glow] when it came down and caught fire near the Front Range Airport in Adams County on Wednesday.

::) It was actually a scale S.E.5a replica http://news.sky.com/story/1015194/raf-veteran-dies-in-colorado-biplane-crash
