The reason it was at sebring airport was that it was being fitted with extended range fuel tanks. My father owned the maintenance shop that did the work which also specialized in the de havilland aircraft. The cause of the engine failure was that the pilot, new to the aircraft, and in a hurry, declined the check out flight, and took off on his own. After take off, instead of switching fuel tanks, the pilot shut off the fuel supply. You know the rest of the story. Actually, The plane was starting on a drug run.

Perhaps the intrepid grafittists were looking for any booty left behind. What you fail to mention is that flight was ‘allegedly’ on a drug run.
