Very sad, never thought about it before, but are passengers allowed in air race aircraft, seems a little odd to me!

I have no knowledge of this race but I would suspect as it was a race & not a display they are allowed a navigator...

Good point, I am used to pilots being able to read a map (Single Seat Fleet) not to be lead around! :-o

it is a handicapped race where they race around a course together marked by orange squares usually quite long
this race was the schneider trophy (anniversary?) held on the isle of wight.
they DO have a navigator. look at the site below:

Very sad, RIP :( I saw the end of the report on the news last night but did not see what it was in relation to. There was also another air crash on the news just off the coast of I think Norfolk, anyone know what that was about?
