Was there any further word on the seven casualties?

Thankfully there was no major fire but the damage certainly is substantial :(

Every lost of a historical bird, such as that one is an irreplaceable lost. :(

[Bjoern]

No chance of getting the bird home safely as the engine failed shortly after takeoff.

Fortunately, there were just seven injuries; none life-threatening.

That's really sad news

While the loss of an irreplaceable aircraft is a terrible thing, the loss of human life would have been worse.

But thanks to Tim, this gal stays alive at least for us:

I wonder where the rudder damage comes from?

I'll definately miss the sound of the two Twin Wasps above my head...

Good news is that no one got killed, but indeed a very sad loss for german classic aviation.

It still was one of my dreams to take a trip over Berlin with this thing one day! I will have to bury that dream now, I guess...

I share your emotions, Alex!
My wifey initially planned to get me onboard as a birthday present two years ago, but found another gift back then... :crybaby:

Yep, a terrible thing.

Fence elements on the loose?

If it hadn't been for some concrete elements in the fence system, the wing would have stayed intact as well.
