I too agree that it is a very sad loss of both the man and the aircraft. From all I have heard of Mr. Shuttleworth, and from the brief time I chatted with him ten years ago, he seemed a really stand-up guy, and there are too few of them these days.
That being said, a close friend at NASM confirmed this evening that the airframe being one of Robin Old's wartime mounts was purely in the paperwork. Regardless of it's true identity though, it was a beautiful aircraft, and it is a sad to see her go this way.
