Unhappy In-flight breakup Tiger Moth, VH-TSG on 16/12/13

The ATSB has issued an investigation update with sad findings:

Quote:
The aircraft was fitted with two cameras associated with the conduct of joy flight activities. One of the cameras, a digital video camera, was recovered from the accident site, and the stored data was successfully downloaded. The video footage shows that, about 8 minutes after take-off, the aircraft commenced aerobatic manoeuvres. About 1 minute later during an aerobatic manoeuvre, the left wings failed.
