Narrative:
A Cirrus SR22T GTS G6 carbon (G-RGSK) suffered an accident while performing touch-and-goes at Duxford Airfield (QFO/EGSU), Cambridgehire.
The sole pilot (and owner) died and the aircraft was destroyed.
Flight data from FlightRadar24 shows the aircraft took off from Duxford at 13.21 and made two touch-and-goes.
At 13.39, during the third touch-and-go the aircraft bounced twice, according to eyewitnesses.
A video of the accident suggests that the aircraft stalled, with a left-wing drop. It hit the ground at a roll angle of about 100 degrees.
Also the CAPS rocket ignited due to impact forces.
