How do you know the aircraft type? No mention of it in that report.

Photos elsewhere and other internet fora confirm that it was a PP:

Sadly the pilot has been confirmed as John Fairey.

He will be sorely missed.  :(

Very sad news indeed. John was a great performer and from what I've heard a very nice man. He will be missed both by his friends and family and UK airshow goers alike :(

Taken at Kemble a few weeks ago....
