Pilot Fatally Injured In BD-5 Accident

Plane Went Down Near Dungarvan, CO  Waterford

The builder of a BD-5 who reportedly spent 30 years building his plane has been fatally injured in an accident in Ireland.

Howard Cox was flying to an air show in the single-place airplane July 25 when it went down in a field near Dungarvan, CO Waterford, according to a report in the U.K. newspaper The Telegraph. He had arrived in Ireland several days before the accident to prepare for the Foynes Air Show at the Shannon Estuary, according to the paper.

Cox, 67, had begun his BD-5 project while in college. He was described as an experienced pilot and talented engineer.

The accident is under investigation by Ireland's Air Accident Investigation Unit.

Several U.K. media reports indicate that the aircraft was a BD-5 Jet, but the Irish aircraft registry lists the airplane as a BD-5G powered by an  AE-110RA rotary engine.
