A sad day for vintage aviation. Thinking of the family of Kevin Whyman the Folland Gnat pilot today.

The Gnat appears to fall victim to the dreaded side-slip? frown

Saw the brief video of the Gnat and it looked like he was rolling all the way in, possible aileron or control failure maybe?

Pilots should. Here's another at 1:03. Exactly the same thing.

No, that's a low level spin, caused by a stall.

Side slipping, in and of itself, is a common maneuver, and required in just about every crosswind landing.

The opinions of this poster are largely based on facts and portray a possible version of the actual events.
