Narrative:The historic plane crashed due to fuel starvation. The aircraft had not flown for a number of years and fuel in the fuel supply lines had become solidified and caused a restricted flow.
The pilot was unaware of the correct use of the fuel selector and did not monitor fuel consumption resulting in one fuel tank being empty and a measurable quantity remaining in the other tank.
