Well guys i`m afraid that the B52 has crashed at the British Nationals in Grantham over the August Bank holiday weekend! :-( I`m not 100% sure what went wrong but she banked over and that was that! There where rumors of flameouts on two of the eight wren turbine engines although I`m not 100% sure on that. Others said that he may of banked it over 30 degrees which is its 'safe flight' limit and that may of caused it also! I feel nothing but pain for all of these involved in designing, building, flying and sponsoring of the b52! Its a true piece of modelling history gone! :(

That's terrible news! :(

What an amazing piece of engineering that thing was.
