There's a dramatic video of a very close call for several bystanders... Things were very nearly much worse.
Another video clip seems to show a wingover reversal turn at fairly low height and energy, with a stall-recover-secondary stall event.
Regardless, a tragic loss for the pilot and his family and friends. Thoughts and sympathy to all affected

Waste of a perfectly serviceable aircraft AND loss of the pilot's life......... Would suggest that's the bigger concern. But very unfortunate on all counts.  |

A similar fatal accident happened to another Hurricane in the UK a few years back: Link here |
